Hoi An ranks 11th on the list of the most cost-effective tourist destinations in the world by the Insider (USA).
Spring may be the best time for traveling. However, how much a person should spend visiting another place is always a consideration. The Insider has recently posted a ranking of 19 friendly tourist destinations with the wallet in 2019. And Hoi An is one of them.
The list is a result of collecting information about traveling from travel agencies around the world based on the prices of 8 essential product groups such as food and drinks, drugs. With an average total of USD 86.87 for products including a cup of coffee, a bottle of beer, a can of coke, a bottle of wine, a 1.5l bottle of fresh water, a tube of sunscreen, a tube of mosquito repellent and a dinner for two, Hoi An ranked 11th.
In terms of price, Hoi An is more attractive than some other highlights of Asia such as Penang (Malaysia- USD 107.89) and Phuket (Thailand- USD 103.11).
Hoi An is a small city in Quang Nam province, Central Vietnam. It is a famous tourist destination with a UNESCO World Heritage Site as Hoi An ancient town. It owns several typical architectural works located on the banks of Thu Bon river.
Coming here, visitors can contemplate the temples of hundreds of years old, Chinese public houses, traditional festivals and a typical culinary culture. Hoi An ancient town is also the only representative of Vietnam to reach the top 50 best destinations in the world in 2019 according to the ranking of the famous travel magazine Travel and Leisure. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 401 |
With Sgt. Pepper-inspired capes, and a Hard Rock-approved Jimi Hendrix soundtrack, this season's Tommy Hilfiger is what rock legends are made of. Throw in some studded suede, Woodstock-approved patchwork denim, and real-life rockstar cred in the form of Jagger progeny Georgia May, and you've got yourself one backstage pass for the Stairway to Heaven.
She might have been the best at Home Ec, but Marc Jacobs' girl is destined to go off the deep end. Circling a windowless Peptol Mismol-colored house – barely distinguishable in a parade of identical black-bobbed housewives – her life after Senior year is Disturbia indeed, complete with drab military uniforms, and a monotonous robot's voice for company.
Turn down for what? It won't be first-degree murder a la Marc Jacobs girl, but the parents of Jeremy Scott's girl are most likely to get a call one night that their baby is in a holding cell. Drug possession, driving under the influence, or/and refusal to turn down the music, resulting in an altercation with police. But hey, at least it was a fun night – and I heard Miley Cyrus showed up.
She always did like Science, but after she won Homecoming Queen, the Rodarte girl was never the same again. Still hot, but like, obsessed with outer space. Thigh-high boots, paneled outerwear- it got a little weird for this teen queen (not to mention, she wore that damn Homecoming dress to tatters). | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 402 |
Nursing home residents who have dementia can literally rock away their anxiety and depression, nurse researchers have found, simply by rocking back and forth in a rocking chair for about an hour or two a day. Patients who rocked the most in a research study even requested less medication to ease their daily aches and pains, and their balance improved.
Nurses from the University of Rochester School of Nursing presented the work at a meeting of the Eastern Nursing Research Society April 23-25 in Rochester.
"There's the stereotype of older people on a porch happily going back and forth in their rocking chairs," says nurse researcher Nancy Watson. "It turns out that the activity really does bring some peace of mind to many folks.
"It's been very well documented with infants that a gentle repetitive motion has a soothing effect. We've shown that the same is true in an older population that is emotionally distressed."
In a study funded by the New York State Department of Health, Watson studied 25 nursing home residents diagnosed as having dementia, either due to Alzheimer's disease or other causes. Nurses at Kirkhaven, a nursing home in Rochester, closely monitored patient behavior for the six weeks residents rocked and compared it to their behavior during six weeks when the rocking mechanism on the chairs was disabled.
During the weeks they rocked, most residents' psychological and emotional well-being improved, says Watson, an assistant professor in the University's School of Nursing and an expert in gerontological nursing research, an area where the University is ranked among the top 10 nationwide.
"Right away, nursing aides noticed the most dramatic effect: The chair served to calm someone down when he or she was emotionally upset. The aide helped the resident to the chair and got them rocking, and it calmed the patient right down."
In the study, residents rocked for anywhere from half an hour to two and a half hours each day for five days a week. While not all the residents improved, those who rocked the most improved the most, Watson says. "The more they rocked, the better they felt."
Behaviors like crying or expressions of anxiety, tension, and depression dropped in 11 patients, 10 of whom rocked more than 80 minutes a day. Such behaviors fell anywhere from slightly to almost one-third.
Several patients also requested less pain medication during weeks they rocked, Watson says; generally, those who rocked the most asked for pain medication less often, ranging from a very slight reduction to two or three fewer requests per week. Patients who rocked less asked for at least as much pain medication, and sometimes more.
Zealous rockers also improved their balance, a huge concern among the elderly population, where a fall often leads to drastically scaled-back quality of life. Watson says it's possible that the gentle rocking motion helped stimulate the residents' vestibular system, which helps maintain balance.
Residents used platform-style rocking chairs that work like conventional rockers but have a super-stable, immobile base and move back and forth very easily. Aides gradually introduced residents to the chairs, encouraging but not pushing residents to rock.
Watson's co-investigators were Mary Hauptmann, director of nursing at Kirkhaven, and Carol Brink, associate professor of clinical nursing at the University. Also taking part were Bethel Powers, associate professor of nursing; Eileen Root Taillie, project director; Margaret Lash, project nurse; and nurse researcher Thelma Wells, formerly of the University and now at the University of Wisconsin.
Watson says that nursing home staff and loved ones of residents who seem happier and less anxious have been very interested in the research. She says rocking-chair therapy could become an important treatment tool for the approximately 1.6 million people in U.S. nursing homes, more than half of whom suffer from some form of dementia.
"Rocking provides a worthwhile, mild form of exercise for these people," says Watson. "It would be difficult to take every patient for a walk, for instance, but residents can rock themselves, and many are happy to do so, given a little encouragement. This is an easy step to improve the quality of life for people in nursing homes." | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 403 |

Yam Concepcion In The Darna Movie As Valentina?
People think Yam Concepcion looks a lot like beauty queen and Darna (1994) actress Anjanette Abayari. So it's no surprise that the 30-year-old Halik star was asked if she's interested in playing the Philippine superhero.
But Yam seems to be more interested in portraying Valentina, Darna's nemesis in the comics who is depicted with living snakes on her head in place of hair.
Jade is Yam's character in the TV series Halik. Considered primetime's most hated character, she is married to Lino (Jericho Rosales) and cheats on him with Ace (Sam Milby). | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 405 |

Chris Knight Plans New Album 'Almost Daylight' for Fall 2019
When Deana Carter made her debut in country music, she was something of a rarity. Born in Nashville, the daughter of famed session guitarist Fred Carter Jr. grew up north of Music City, in Goodlettsville, where she was a high-school cheerleader, student body president and voted "Most Likely to Succeed." Superlatives aside, no one could have predicted the phenomenal success of Carter's debut album, Did I Shave My Legs for This?
Released in the U.S. on September 3rd, 1996, the LP had initially been issued in the U.K. a year earlier with a significantly different track listing, although the cheeky title cut remained. Two singles were released there before the record label folded.
17 Country Songs That Would Make Great Movies
Back in the U.S., Carter was signed to Capitol Nashville, where she cut several new songs for the reworked release. One of them, the Matraca Berg-Gary Harrison-penned "Strawberry Wine," became her debut single and a monster hit. A wistful reminiscence of first love, Berg based the song's rather adult storyline on her own summertime experience as a teenager on her grandparents' Wisconsin farm. At just under five minutes long, the tune wasn't exactly considered radio-friendly, so it wasn't surprising that every female artist in Nashville had passed on recording it. Once Carter heard it, at an event hosted by Berg's music publisher, she not only wanted to record it, she made the even more shocking decision to release it as her first single.
By November 1996, "Strawberry Wine" was a Number One hit, topping the country chart for two weeks. A year later, Carter had notched three chart-toppers, including "We Danced Anyway" and "How Do I Get There," with "Strawberry Wine" and Did I Shave My Legs for This? garnering six CMA nominations, including wins for Single and Song of the Year (Berg and Harrison took the latter honor as writers).
A highlight of the 1997 CMA Awards telecast was Carter's performance of the LP's title track, released as the fifth single from the album, which by that time had sold three million copies (it has, to date, sold in excess of five million). After the energetic performance, which host Vince Gill noted was done in her bare feet, Ricky Skaggs announced that Carter's "Strawberry Wine" was Single of the Year. The clearly over-stimulated pride of Goodlettsville then bounded back on stage (still barefoot) and proceeded to jump into Skaggs' unsuspecting arms, wrapping her (presumably shaved) legs around his torso, all the while earning herself a place in CMA Awards show history. The song would also be nominated for a 1997 Grammy.
For her part, Berg saw a major shift in her songwriting career once "Strawberry Wine" was a hit.
"So many writers were calling me to write," she tells Rolling Stone Country. "Writers who didn't want to write with me before were calling me. There was this one writers' retreat at some castle that my publisher was always trying to get me in on. They turned us down every year. They invited me that year. I said no. [Laughs]."
Carter and Berg would team up again to pen "You and Tequila," which was on the singer's 2003 LP, I'm Just a Girl, and would later be covered by Kenny Chesney and Grace Potter. Their version would also be Grammy-nominated.

Councillor Judith Blake and Yorkshire CCC chief executive Mark Arthur take a look around the third tier of the new Emerald Stand currently being constructed, which will offer a fantastic view of the action for cricket fans.
The leader of Leeds City Council Councillor Judith Blake has paid a visit to Emerald Headingley Stadium to see how work is progressing on an exciting redevelopment plan for both the cricket and rugby grounds.
This follows Leeds City Council brokering a deal last year with Legal and General, which saw the financial services company agree to privately fund up to £35m towards the redevelopment, which will be repaid by Leeds Rhinos and Yorkshire CCC in rent.
Leeds Rhinos also pledged £5m towards the total cost of the £40m revamp, which at no cost to the taxpayer, has played a vital part in securing top-level international sport at Headingley. In 2019, Emerald Headingley will host four matches as part of the ICC Cricket World Cup and a prestigious Ashes Test match against Australia.
Councillor Judith Blake was accompanied on the tour of the new Emerald Stand by Yorkshire CCC chief executive, Mark Arthur. When completed, the Emerald Stand will include a three-tiered seating area that will accommodate 4,300 seats and feature enhanced corporate facilities and new permanent concession units. The stand is set for completion next May.
"It was absolutely fantastic to see how the redevelopment of Headingley Stadium is taking shape. Headingley is a truly iconic and world famous sporting venue, and it is exciting that next year once the redevelopment is completed, the cricket ground will host four matches as part of the ICC Cricket World Cup and an Ashes Test match.
"If the redevelopment plans had not gone ahead, the prospect of Headingley and Leeds continuing to hold global sporting events and matches would have undoubtedly been under threat. Also at risk would be the significant economic benefits brought to Leeds and the wider region if Yorkshire CCC and the Leeds Rhinos were to no longer host top-class matches. Taking all of these factors into account, we could not idly stand by and do nothing to protect Headingley's status as a home for international sport. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 412 |

AUM tries worming out of compensation
Mainichi Daily News, January 8, 2000
AUM Shinrikyo tried to outwit its receivers by telling them it would use money from the sale of land it owned to compensate victims of its terrorist acts, but then actually attempted to siphon the money away, sources said Friday.
Saburo Abe, the doomsday cult's receiver, said he cottoned on to what AUM was trying to do and took out a court order late last year that prevented the cult from getting its hands on money that most would prefer was diverted to its victims.
"I had no other option but to doubt the integrity of the cult when it promised to use the funds to compensate its victims," Abe said. On Dec. 16, the cult contacted Abe and said it wanted to sell some of the land it owned and use the proceeds of the sale to compensate victims of crimes like the 1995 lethal nerve-gas attack on the Tokyo subway system that killed 12 and injured thousands. Receivers ordered AUM members to take the appropriate steps to sell cult-owned land to local governments in Fukiage, Saitama Prefecture, and the Nagano Prefecture municipalities of Kisofukushima and Minami-Aiki. AUM members later handed over to the receivers 5 million yen from the sale of the Kisofukushima lot. The receivers on Dec. 21 declared these funds to be available to compensate the victims of AUM crimes.
However, on either Dec. 22 or Dec. 23, an AUM member contacted the Kisofukushima Municipal Government and pressured officials to pay some 1. 5 million yen owed to AUM for rent on facilities on the cult's land. AUM's receivers decided that the call meant the cult was trying to get its hands on more money and did not intend to use the funds to pay back its victims. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaCommonCrawl'} | 416 |

What are the five most pressing global health problems of today?
Physical Activity and Nutrition.
Overweight and Obesity.
Substance Abuse.
HIV/AIDS.
Injury and Violence.
Environmental Quality.
What is the leading cause of poor health globally?
The causes of poor health for millions globally are rooted in political, social and economic injustices. Poverty is both a cause and a consequence of poor health. Poverty increases the chances of poor health. Poor health, in turn, traps communities in poverty.
What kind of diseases affect the human population?
The following list gives a brief description of the different kinds of diseases that the human population has to deal with and how they are intensely affected by them. Diabetes mellitus or better known as diabetes is the disease where the individual is affected with high blood sugar level.
Why are there so many diseases in the world?
Physical inactivity, use of tobacco, consumption of alcohol in an unhealthy manner and poor nutrition are the main reason why an individual become the victim of heart diseases, stroke, asthma, diabetes, arthritis and other such non-communicable or non-infectious diseases (Buchan & Cathrall, 1797).
Which is the most life threatening disease in the world?
Life Threatening Diseases. In developing countries, more than 600, 000 children die because of Rotavirus that commonly causes viral gastroenteritis worldwide. Vomiting, watery diarrhea, fever, and abdominal pain are the symptoms of this infectious disease. While each year, about 30 million people die from Yellow Fever.
How are diseases affect human life research paper?
It may be caused by external factors, Pathogens such as infectious disease, or it may be caused by internal dysfunctions, such as autoimmune diseases.
Why are emerging infectious diseases a threat to health?
Institute of Medicine, Emerging Infections: Microbial Threats to Health in the United States, 1992 Summary Societal, technological, and environmental factors continue to have a dramatic effect on infectious diseases worldwide, facilitating the emergence of new diseases and the reemergence of old ones, sometimes in drug-resistant forms.
How are microbes a threat to human health?
Microbes have enormous evolutionary potential and are continually undergoing genetic changes that allow them to bypass the human immune system, infect human cells, and spread disease. They may also traverse an alternative pathway that is a symbiotic accommodation to their hosts (see Box 3-2 ).
How did infectious disease affect the evolution of humans?
Though it is impossible to discern exactly what happened during evolution, the investigators studied molecular signatures surrounding these genes to hypothesize that predecessors of modern humans grappled with a massive pathogenic menace between 100,000 and 200,000 years ago. This presumed "selective sweep" would have devastated their numbers.
Can a fungal infection be a life threatening infection?
Fungal infections can also happen in people without weak immune systems. Fungal infections that are not life-threatening, such as skin, nail, or vaginal yeast infections, are common. Some infections can be more serious. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaCommonCrawl'} | 418 |

All matches will be ranked and taken into account for the World Ranking.
The position of the players in the match will determine the points that each player gets for the World Ranking. If 5 players participate in the match, the player who gets the highest score will get 5 points for the ranking, the second 4, the third 3 etc. This means that the more players participate in the game more points in game for the winner and the other players.
In case of a draw, number of wins serves as a first tie breaker. If the draw continues total score serves as a second tie breaker, as the player with the highest total score will be higher in the rankings.
Each participating country has to try to organize a national tournament once a year and promote the game in its area.
Wotan Games will try organize the World Championship of Camelot: The Build every two years in England, Basque Country or in another country of Europe.

4 Mission failure
6 Video walkthrough
In order to draw attention away from the gang and onto the Natives, Dutch convinces Eagle Flies to ambush an army patrol.
Arthur speaks with Dutch and Eagle Flies. They plan to use dynamite to take several trees down to trap soldiers heading through the valley in order to humiliate them by tarring and feathering them. Arthur helps Dutch set up the dynamite; while doing so Dutch reveals his real intentions to Arthur; he plans to use the Natives to draw government attention away from the gang and onto the Natives, or in his own words "draw attention to one problem and a veil over the other". They take down the trees but the trapped soldiers aren't alone; more soldiers arrive and Eagle Flies is captured by the soldiers while Dutch and Arthur fight them off. They try to escape but find a dead end and a broken bridge, and are cornered on a cliff, where Dutch delivers a speech to the soldiers about how "my whole life, all I ever did was fight" whilst he and Arthur back away towards the cliff. They leap into the river below whilst being shot at by soldiers, and end up on the riverbank.
Gold Medal Objectives
Kill the soldier on the cannon within 45 seconds.
Get 35 headshots.
Complete the mission without taking any health items.
Mission failure
The mission will fail if the player:
Assaults, kills, or abandons any members of the gang
Allows any members of the gang to die;
Fails to detonate the explosives in time;
Gets arrested;
Dies.
Numerous US Army soldiers - Killed by Arthur Morgan, Dutch van der Linde and the Wapiti Indians during the ambush.

Before Arthur and Dutch jump down the river, Dutch tells the captain of how nature or gravity can't be beaten on the cliffside. This is a foreshadowing of Dutch's last words in Red Dead Redemption before taking his own life by falling off of a cliff.
The moment when Dutch and Arthur jump off the cliff is an homage to the famous scene of the film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969), in which the titular protagonists likewise jump off a cliff into a river in order to escape authorities. Frame for frame, the camera angle and lighting of the jumps are nearly identical.
When Arthur is looting the corpses of the fallen soldiers, he mentions to Dutch that one of them is "...just some poor fool from New Jersey". In real life, Arthur Morgan's voice actor Roger Clark was born in New Jersey.

Professor Washington Ochieng dreams of a truly global positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) system for everyone and everything, everywhere and all the time. He works tirelessly to promote the smarter use and enhancement of GPS-like systems in areas as diverse as nuclear construction sites, intelligent transport systems and navigation aids for blind people.
What links these research areas? For Professor Ochieng it is the combination of PNT in a single platform that is accurate and reliable but also affordable. Success in any area is underpinned by engineering but also mathematical modelling, software development and an ability to navigate difficult regulatory and policy environments.
In the case of aviation, air traffic management (ATM) is a highly complex business with different systems tracking aircraft at different stages of their journey - from terrestrial systems for landing and taxiing at airports to radar beacons for air transits. Routing aircraft safely through the many different national systems introduces inefficiencies and the potential for failure.
Ochieng's research group is getting close to demonstrating what they call gate-to-gate tracking of aircraft, using one platform to track an aircraft throughout its entire journey.
This platform would ideally be based on some form of satellite navigation system and would lower the potential for human error. Ochieng would like to see approval of satellite-based management of European airspace by 2020, and a global system by 2030-2050.
Europe is already working towards a Single European Sky initiative, which will combine a patchwork of 27 national air traffic controls, into nine functional airspace blocks. Advocates for satellite management need to demonstrate platform safety and reliability across all parts of airspace.
A very different PNT project looks at how nuclear facilities are designed and constructed.
Many nuclear plants in the UK are ageing and due to be decommissioned. A research team led by Professor Ochieng and Dr Panagiotis Angeloudis, along with engineering firms Laing O'Rourke and ARUP, has recently won three years' funding from the UK's Technology Strategy Board to optimise the design, manufacture and assembly of prefabricated components for nuclear power plants.
The Imperial team will focus on the difficulties in handling larger-than-usual construction components while taking advantage of their prefabricated nature. For example, the location and movement of tower cranes during construction affects the speed of assembly.
Imperial is a world leader in designing automated systems for cargo transport. To help the nuclear industry rethink and streamline its construction logistics requires a similar approach. In addition, this project will seek to provide the necessary evidence to regulatory authorities on the performance and safety of pre-assembled components.
Ochieng is already working towards a more general system for automating construction processes, by combining cheap sensors with a single software platform for tracking parts and people.
Research has shown that the use of preassembled components in large scale civil engineering construction projects has the potential to reduce construction site CO2 emissions by 50%, water consumption by 30% and construction waste by more than 50%. Faster and cheaper construction should ultimately mean lower costs and reduced risk and disruption.

Retail supply chains are being transformed by the digital revolution. At the heart of this is ecommerce, driven by the digitally savvy consumer seeking a transparent, low cost and customised service. As consumers increasingly hold the power, retailers all over the globe are having to rethink what they can actively do to be fit for today's purpose while futureproofing their business for tomorrow. Those that don't, face an uncertain future and potentially follow the recent casualties that are disappearing from our high streets.
So, what can retailers do? The very simplistic answer is clearly to offer more convenient services. However, these need to be captivating, in line with expectations and at the same time, affordable. They must be built on a collaborative business model while underpinned by robust processes and appropriately technology enabled. A pivotal service that most retailers are focusing on is a first-class Click and Collect offering. Long hailed as revolutionary but a nice to have, Click and Collect, can be more cost-effective than home delivery, providing greater engagement with the consumer, increased store footfall and sales potential re-energising the store estate.
However, for the consumer, the reality must live up to the expectation. Failure in execution, especially if repeated, is potentially fatal for the brand. Today's consumer is more savvy and transient than ever before and if you are lucky, you have one chance to get it right! So, what are the underlying fundamentals of getting click and collect right? Aoife Oconnell, Retail Business Consultant at Zetes explores some of the key considerations for a competitive and consistent Click and Collect offer.
Consumers expect a seamless and frictionless experience across all channels, whether that's in-store, home delivery or click and collect. Inventory accuracy and visibility is crucial - retailers must know with full confidence the location of their products in real-time – whether in the DC, the back of the store, the shop floor or even in-transit. They must also provide their customers the transparency they need to fulfil a purchase and track its progress with ease and crucially mitigating potential risks of losing the sale. As it stands, 92% of consumers believe it is important to receive status updates , yet less than a third of retailers are able to achieve this information.
Visibility is king when it comes to supply chain success. So, it's somewhat surprising to see that 62% of retailers don't have access to real-time information regarding product availability, and 72% lack appropriate capability to alert customers about an order fulfilment issue or delivery 1 . When a home delivery or click & collect order is fulfilled from the store, for example, there is a very real chance the product apparently in stock could be sold by the time a Store Assistant attempts to fulfil the order – resulting in one seriously unhappy customer.
Full visibility of product, people and locations is pivotal when it comes to addressing these retail challenges. With the right information, a retailer can implement processes that deliver the right customer experience – from giving shoppers the ability to collect from a variety of stores to checking stock availabilities within a specific geographical range. Accurate inventory management is equally important.
Equipped with real-time, end-to-end visibility, a retailer can make proactive and fully-informed decisions. Accurate knowledge of where a product is, from the initial order to delivery; retailers can manage inventory effectively and efficiently and fulfil orders from the most appropriate place, whether that's from the store or a distribution centre. Additional benefits come in the form of increased stock availability and reduced waste.
Using third-party carriers will also continue to play an important role in responding to consumer demand to collect orders from ever-more convenient locations. However, a retailer needs to understand the importance of being transparent about who is accountable for what and when. A carrier not only plays a role in delivering the order it is also an extension of the retailers' brand experience and promise.
An efficient operation requires an integrated and collaborative approach. A carrier's capacity, ability to inform and meeting performance expectations are fundamental. If a customer feels let down by a poor experience, on just one occasion, it directly affects brand perception and future loyalty.
Unless the underlying fundamentals of retail are in working order, a retailer will always be in danger of disappointing customers when it comes to implementing the latest sales and delivery offerings. And that's not limited to just Click and Collect. Retailers need to ensure that the basic principles of the retail model are upheld.
Unless the underlying fundamentals of retail are in working order, a retailer will always be in danger of disappointing customers.
As current research has shown, despite the increasing popularity of online shopping, many consumers still like to visit a store and Click and Collect gives retailers the opportunity to present an option that fits with the way people want and like to shop, increasing and sustaining footfall in-store, opening opportunities to further engage a customer and upsell.
The important thing to remember is that consumers want choice but they also value relevant, accurate and timely information. Rather than a blanket 'out of stock' response, a retailer should aim to be able to inform the customer of alternative fulfilment options to close the sale in the "buying moment" and meet their time window. Those retailers that take a step back to get the basics right will be the ones who successfully secure the sale, time and time again.
25% of retailers admit it is a hassle for them to process returns during peaks. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 426 |
KARACHI: Pakistan shares a statistic with India, China and Indonesia: these four countries are home to half the children born with heart defects worldwide says a communication received from AKUH. In Pakistan, a child born with congenital heart disease (CHD), is now healthier and living longer. But survival depends on how severe the defect is, how quickly it is diagnosed and how well it is treated.
With most births taking place in rural communities, the number of babies born with heart defects is unclear an estimate suggests that more than 60,000 infants with a with congenital heart disease are born each year. About half of these young patients will have a critical CHD and require surgery to survive one year. The Aga Khan University Hospital has stepped in to assist these children and their families. Its Mending Kids' Hearts campaign, now in its fourth year, offers help and hope to those without financial means by covering the cost of quality surgical and medical care of children needing hospital procedures. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 427 |

Exposed government criminals—where they are today
By Sibel Edmonds
Posted on August 6, 2013 by Sibel Edmonds
For the last several years former CIA officer Philip Giraldi has been fearlessly reporting and writing on two no-no topics for the US government and its extension—the US media: Espionage and Illegal Arms Trafficking by Israel and Turkey, facilitated by a group of treasonous US officials. Despite Giraldi's credentials as a former CIA operative, his extensive first-hand knowledge and experience, and no matter the amount of documentation and numerous well-established cases he presents, these alarming facts and trends always go ignored or intentionally blacked-out by the mainstream and pseudo alternative media alike.
On August 1, 2013, Giraldi published another damning article in his long-running series involving espionage and arms trafficking by the two major US allies, facilitated by their extensions within the US government:
Ten years ago, FBI whistleblower Sibel Edmonds revealed that the defense ministries of several major recipients of United States military hardware were being scrutinized because they had been falsifying end-user certificates, claiming that the equipment was intended for their own use while at the same time arranging to sell it to other militaries that were blocked from receiving the sensitive technology. In May 2006, I described in a Deep Background column for TAC how the two countries most heavily engaged in the practice—Israel and Turkey—also benefited from their connections with leading neoconservatives in Washington. Richard Perle and Doug Feith in particular benefited financially from their ties to defense industries in Israel while also serving as richly rewarded "consultants" for Turkish interests. Feith's International Advisors Inc., a registered agent for Turkey in 1989–1994, was paid $600,000 a year by Turkish sources, while Richard Perle received $48,000 annually as a consultant. Feith has also long been associated with Northrop Grumman sales in the Middle East. While at the Pentagon in 1983, Perle was criticized for endorsing the U.S. Army's purchase of an armaments system from an Israeli company that had paid him $50,000 in consulting fees one year before.
Here is an excerpt from Giraldi's 2006 article mentioned above:
Someone has to be in the middle to keep the happy affair going, so enter the neocons, intent on securing Israel against all comers and also keen to turn a dollar. In fact the neocons seem to have a deep and abiding interest in Turkey, which, under other circumstances, might be difficult to explain.
That's right: "Someone" has to be in the middle and facilitate these criminal activities. Someone(s) with access, power, and influence. Someone(s) in a position as a US government official—whether appointed or elected.
Giraldi specifically mentions the following names directly connected to the high-level US players involved in these nefarious foreign lobbies and their related espionage and illegal arms trafficking: Douglas Feith, Richard Perle, Marc Grossman, Eric Edelman, Paul Wolfowitz, and Stephen Solarz.
And here is my infamous State Secrets Gallery released in 2005–2006 depicting the high-level US officials involved in my State Secrets Privilege case: Click Here. Do you recognize the pictures and names from Giraldi's exposés?
You can read the entire article by Giraldi here. It has been over 10 years since these revelations—by me, Philip Giraldi, Sunday Times series, Vanity Fair exposé . . . and yet the involved criminal fat cats are still in operation-one way or another, and have been getting fatter and fatter. Let me give you a few more examples from my States Secrets Gallery:
Former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert is now officially a Registered Foreign Agent with Turkey:
Former Speaker of the House J. Dennis Hastert, R-Plano, is now lobbying for the Republic of Turkey, according to papers filed last week with the Justice Department's Foreign Agents Registration Act unit.
Mr. Hastert and others at Dickstein Shapiro share a $35,000-per-month subcontract with the Gephardt Group, led by former House Majority Leader Richard Gephardt, D-Mo., Turkey's principal lobbyist since last year, according to The Hill, a Washington, D.C.-based publication that first reported Mr. Hastert's involvement.
So what if he was exposed by the Vanity Fair article?! The magazine's readers in the millions were busy reading the parallel article on Jennifer Aniston. They couldn't give a hoot about the scandals involving the United States Speaker of the House.
In 2005 Marc Grossman, the former third highest level person at the State Department- Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs, joined Turkey's Imam Fethullah Gulen related Ihlas Holding, a large and alleged shady Turkish company, which is also active in several Central Asian countries. Grossman is reported to receive $100,000 per month for his advisory position with Ihlas. You can read more on this here.
So who cares if he was exposed to millions by the Sunday Times' Series in 2006–2007? Apparently no one.
How about another figure from the treason circle: Richard Armitage? Do you know where he is since he left his position only to indirectly continue his operations? Well, check it out:
Now it is official. Former U.S. Secretary of State Richard Armitage is on his way to take over the Chairmanship of the American Turkish Council from Brent Scowcroft.
Not only that. As with the Perle and Feith marriage, other high-level criminal players also get together and form illicit marriages:
In May 2010, DLA Piper, one of the world's largest international lobby-law firms, hired Marc Grossman as their front man for their Turkish operations. The man in charge of one of DLA Piper major accounts—Turkey—is none other than our good ole Dennis Hastert. That makes two former FBI criminal targets for one firm.
Last month Washington Post's Style section ran an article on a few well-known government whistleblowers-profiling where they are today—years after blowing the whistle, court and congressional battles, persecution and prosecutions. Basically, the gist of the piece was "Where are they today?"
The media must similarly investigate and publish similar articles and profiles on those government criminals who were exposed and reported by government whistleblowers. They should. They must. Otherwise the picture will never be complete. Because the complete picture, the real story in-full, would clearly show that the exposed US government criminals, whether NSA heads engaged in illegal wiretapping of all Americans and blackmailing US politicians, whether those responsible for torture and renditions, whether those operating as foreign spies or in illegal weapons or drug trafficking, always end up keeping their positions or actually getting promoted to higher levels, or they operate from the outside—influencing those inside while filling their pockets with millions of illicit dollars channeled to them through intentional loopholes.
That is right. We have US public officials engaged in treason, espionage, torture, blackmail, kidnapping and rendition, illegal weapons trafficking and intelligence dealings—those who choose to betray the people and prostitute the people's trust and their public positions. And, they stay in power and keep getting fatter and fatter.
Then of course we have the prosecution of Bradley Manning, the hunt for Edward Snowden, the imprisonment of John Kiriakou and . . . Those who chose to expose rather than betray—they chose integrity over treason. And, they are being made to pay.
So what is all this? Good O'l American government, politics and justice? Systemic American ignorance and apathy? A morally and intellectually corrupt nation descending rapidly? What say you? What do all these realities and facts tell us? What kind of nation are we? What does all this make us, the people of the United States?

"Remarkable . . . an eye-opening booklet [on] the liberty fight that modified the South, the country, and the world." —Washington Post The civil rights move that looms over the Nineteen Fifties and Sixties was once the end of an iceberg, the felony and political remnant of a extensive, raucous, deeply American move for social justice that flourished from the Nineteen Twenties during the Forties.

The policy work of piloting: Mobilising and managing conflict and ambiguity in the English NHS
In spite of their widespread use in policy making in the UK and elsewhere, there is a relatively sparse literature specifically devoted to policy pilots. Recent research on policy piloting has focused on the role of pilots in making policy work in accordance with national agendas. Taking this as a point of departure, the present paper develops the notion of pilots doing policy work. It does this by situating piloting within established theories of policy formulation and implementation, and illustrating using an empirical case. Our case is drawn from a qualitative policy ethnography of a local government pilot programme aiming to extend access to healthcare services. Our case explores the collective entrepreneurship of regional policy makers together with local pilot volunteers. We argue that pilots work to mobilise and manage the ambiguity and conflict associated with particular policy goals, and in their structure and design, shape action towards particular outcomes. We conclude with a discussion of the generative but managed role which piloting affords to local implementers. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaCommonCrawl'} | 432 |
Keith believes that business owners who enter entrepreneurial ventures with the right tools have what it takes to innovate, communicate, and achieve business success in any economy.
Keith says, "when it comes to our mindsets, we're often victims of conditioning and genetics. The latest research suggests that 96 to 98 percent of all our thought patterns and behaviors are based on our conditioning."
2. Think of circumstances differently.
Having the right mindset requires that entrepreneurs, in particular, not look at the recession as a reason for failure or lack of opportunity, but rather as a reason for innovation. The entrepreneur should ask the important question, why is a particular business failing and how can I take a different approach to make it work?
3. Next step: Fill a need.
Before launching any kind of marketing campaign for a new (or existing) business, ask this question first: Is there really a need in the marketplace for your product or service?
The adage, "Build it and they will come," is 1970s and '80s thinking, Chemlen says. Today, it's, "Find out what they want; then build it."
Once you build it, make people want it because of the experience, Chemlen adds. When filling a need, realize that the client experience is even more important than the product. A great example is Starbucks. Starbucks doesn't sell coffee; Starbucks sells an experience. "That's why they're able to charge $4 for a $.10 cup of coffee," he says.
4. Ask yourself, what makes you different?
One of the most important elements of developing a successful marketing strategy is to understand what it is about your product or service that makes it unique. You can compete on quality, price or experience. Chemlen warns, however, that competing on price is often a losing battle. Rather, most business owners should look at how they can create a positive and memorable experience for their customers.
Entrepreneurs who do not find and promote a special niche will get lost in a crowded marketplace. "[If] they don't know how to differentiate themselves from their competition, they become a commodity versus an experience. When you become a commodity, you will always be fighting on price. When you become an experience for people… they don't compare your product or service to everybody else's because the experience is so much greater than the product or service itself," Chemlen says.
One of Chemlen's own mentor's clients, a dentist, partnered with a local limousine company to provide transportation for teenage patients. The dentist absorbs the $25 it costs to pick up and bring home teenagers for their dental appointments. Marketing the time-saver to parents was a big hit, and students quickly spread the word about riding to the dentist's office in a limo. A good marketing concept built on creating a memorable and positive experience, successful promotion and word-of-mouth led, in this case, to an explosion of business during the next 12 months.
"In today's world, when we're getting 50,000 messages a day, from… billboards, television, radio, e-mail, print, calls, etc., we have to differentiate ourselves. We have to do something that's unique and different so that we stand out from everybody else who is yelling and screaming "pick me, pick me!!" | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 433 |

US markets still the place to be?
Fox News contributor John Layfield on the state of the markets and the U.S. economy.
As it is in sports, so it is in markets: The rate of change can often be more unnerving than the change itself.
That may be the most significant feature of this recent run-up in rates for fixed-income assets that investors will be forced to contend with in the coming week, after the 10-year Treasury note yield busted out to a 17.1 basis points, or 0.171 percentage point, rise, marking its most severe weekly advance since February. Bond prices fall as yields rise.
Goldman Sachs analysts, including David Kostin, chief U.S. equity strategist, wrote in a research report dated Oct. 4, that stocks in the S&P 500 index "typically cannot digest rapid rises in bond yields," like the one that played out last Wednesday and Thursday.
The strategists wrote "the speed of changes in bond yields often matters more for equities than the level."
Goldman said historically the market can handle yield moves monthly that are within one standard deviation--a measure of how much a distribution of values deviates from statistical norms.
And the recent spike in long-date bond yields is nearly two standard deviations, matching a 1.7 standard-deviation move that occurred in January.
Rising yields equates to higher borrowing costs for corporations and investors and makes so-called risk-free securities like government bonds more attractive than the comparatively riskier stocks.
Equities typically post the strongest returns when bond yields are falling, Goldman notes.
"We expect rising bond yields will limit S&P 500 P/E multiple expansion, so earnings growth will drive equity returns," Goldman strategists wrote. Multiple expansion refers to rising stock values.
"When bond yields have risen by more than 2 standard deviations in a month (40+ bp), S&P 500 returns have typically been negative."
Goldman forecasts that 10-year yields will climb 3.4% by the end of 2019 but that hasn't necessarily altered the bank's expectations for gains in the S&P 500, which the strategists there see standing at 2,850 this year, representing a 1.2% decline from Friday's close at 2,885, but still higher for the year. The bank is maintaining its outlook for 3,000 by 2019, reflecting a roughly 4% climb that year.
The S&P 500 is presently on pace to end the year up 7.9%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is tracking a nearly 7% year-to-date advance, while the Nasdaq Composite Index is on pace for a gain over the past 10 months of 12.8%, according to FactSet data.
Last week's moves saw the Dow slip into negative territory for October, seasonally a volatile month, trading flat so far. The S&P 500 is down by about 1% thus far, while the Nasdaq is on pace for a 3.2% monthly decline.
Overall, it is hard to predict how the degree to which bond yields will rise, particularly come off a period of crisis-era lows. Some market experts, including Jeffrey Gundlach of DoubleLine Capital, believe that rates will continue to advance to multiyear highs, warning that the 30-year Treasury bond could hit 4% and the 10-year could rise to 3.5% in coming months.
Some market participants say the reason behind the climb in yields is a result of a strong domestic economy and that fact could prove a mitigating factor in the impact to risk assets like stocks.
Financial blogger Michael Kramer and founder of Mott Capital Management took heart in the view that the 10-year failed to push above a technical level at 3.25%.
"But what may be most important is that US 10-Year Treasury yields hit the magical 3.25% and failed on its first attempt. That is a positive a sign," he wrote on Friday.
"I'm going to double down here and say that yields are going lower, not higher. I'm serious you think I'm crazy I know," he wrote.
Looking ahead, investors will be awaiting the start of earnings season will JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) Citigroup Inc. (C), and Wells Fargo & Co. (WFC), set to start the parade on Oct. 12.
Corporate earnings may help investors shift the focus away from worries of a spike in yields. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 440 |

Improving Birth Outcomes: Strengthening Awareness of and Support for State and Community Doula Networks
Slide Deck October 7, 2021
This resource is a slide deck from the webinar, Improving Birth Outcomes: Strengthening Awareness of and Support for State and Community Doula Networks. Doula care is method for improving birth outcomes and reducing rates of maternal morbidity and mortality among birthing people of color. However, in many states doula care is not routinely covered by health insurance and doulas aren't seen as instrumental members of the birthing team. Thus, intentional collective efforts should be made to recognize, promote and compensate doulas for their role in achieving equitable outcomes. In addition, making doula care sustainable is an important step in ensuring that birthing people with the highest prevalence of adverse birth outcomes have the support they need before, during, and after pregnancy.

Netflix, Not Live TV, Is Where More Viewers Watch Their Favorite Shows - Study
With little fanfare, YouTube started streaming popular ad-supported movies for free. Last month, movies like Legally Blonde and pics from the Rocky franchise (Rocky I-V to be specific) popped up on the streaming service.
This is a new move for YouTube as they used to only offer movies and TV shows for purchase or rental. It also comes after Roku introduced its own free, ad-supported movie selection called The Roku Channel which is available on the web. Walmart's streaming service Vudu, as well as Tubi, offer their own selection of free films.
YouTube hasn't disclosed the deals it has made with studios and according to AdAge, Rohit Dhawan, director of product management at YouTube said that there will eventually be a way for advertisers to pay to sponsor individual movies, giving users complimentary views and exclusive screenings.
For the time being, there are only about 100 movies available on this new ad-supported venture on YouTube. The list includes The Terminator, Zookeeper and Agent Cody Banks, but it is expected to expand.

If you've hired the services of an electrician for a particular issue, take the opportunity to make the most of their visit by thinking of other queries about operating your home electrics at their optimum level.
You will have ready questions about the task at hand, but you should make the most of having an expert in the house. If you don't know exactly what to ask, look over this list for some starting ideas.
How safe is my home's wiring?
This is a key question, especially if you live in an older home.
Ask the electrician if there are ways to improve the overall electrical safety of your home by installing safety switches or replacing potentially faulty wiring. .
It's important to get handle on budget and timeframe upfront. If there are factors that could throw this out, ask the electrician to tell you honestly what they may be.
If it's a significant job, you'll need to know what parts of your home will be affected, and any structural changes that may need to happen to walls and other elements of your house structure. .
This is a key question. There may be ways, either within the scope of the work you've hired the contractor to carry out, or otherwise, to dramatically lower your periodic electricity bill.
Ask about the possibility of installing lower resistance wiring, universal light dimmers or exploring alternate and eco friendly sources of energy. For a reasonable initial outlay, you could make a huge difference to what you're paying in the long term.
If you've thought of some questions reading this, compare quotes now and start talking to the electrical experts. . | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 444 |
Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons and Eric Singer opine on the best opening bands that KISS took on tour
Posted on November 5, 2018 by Olivier in Uncategorized // 0 Comments
KISS consisting of singer and rhythm guitarist Paul Stanley, singer and bassist Gene Simmons, drummer Eric Singer and guitarist Tommy Thayer were recently interviewed on SiriusXM Ozzy's Boneyard. Stanley and Simmons were asked what were the best sets that they have seen from openers.
Simmons responded (as transcribed by Sleaze Roxx): "Best set? AC/DC on their first tour. A band that didn't pay attention, shares the same philosophy. No matter what any other band is doing, thine own self be true. I've said it before bit it's more truer now than ever. A lot of the people look the same and act the same and do the same thing. Rap, country — there's a lot of sameness going on. Every once in a while, you see a band like AC/DC. Nobody's like them. We'd like to think that we're unique in that way too. Unique to have your own fingerprint because Mother Nature knows best. There's no other fingerprint on earth like us and bands should march to the beat of their own drummer. See what I did there [pointing to Eric Singer]?"
Singer piped in: "I thought Rush was the best. I saw Rush open for KISS. I thought that they were the coolest opening band, especially back in…" Simmons jumped in, "in those days. 'Working Man' and all that." Singer continued: "That was the Fly By Night Tour. It was early '75 and KISS had Hotter Than Hell out, and Rush had just gotten Neil Peart, and they had 'Fly By Night.'"
Stanley jumped in: "I think for us, Rush was most exciting. We're kind of going off on a side tangent. When we first had them playing with us in Canada, and John Rutsey was still the drummer. The first album was so… It was, it was Humble Pie. It was Zeppelin. They obviously found their footing in something they wanted to do later on. They were always great. AC/DC with Bon [Scott] when we had them on tour, great! [Judas] Priest, Priest were phenomenal. Bob Seger — you know, we can go down the list. Bob Seger got his first gold album on tour with us. Mellencamp. John Cougar Mellencamp. Tom Petty. The list goes on and on."

NDP opposes Ford's plan t...
NDP opposes Ford's plan to ditch hotspot strategy at the end of next week
Ford government vaccine update falls short again, say MPPs
BRAMPTON AND SCARBOROUGH — The Doug Ford government's update on the vaccination strategy Wednesday was another blow to hotspot communities throughout the province. Despite advice from the Science Table and other experts, the Ford government is still planning to ditch help for hotspots at the end of next week.
"I'm grateful to local leaders for paving the way for all adults in Peel to start booking their shots, but the province now needs to make sure our community gets its fair share of vaccines so people can actually access them," said NDP Deputy Leader Sara Singh, who is the MPP for Brampton Centre. "This pandemic will be longer and deeper for everyone if we do not extinguish the COVID fires raging in hotspots like Peel."
"Ford's decision to go against expert advice, yet again, is going to come with a hefty price for all Ontarians, and most especially for essential workers and families living in fear in the worst hotspots."
Ontario's Science Table has recommended that 50 per cent of all vaccines go to 74 hotspots, and said it would take at least 25 days to vaccinate those 74 hot spots. In yet another of his too-little-too-late moves, Ford and his cabinet are watering that down to two weeks, and spreading the doses thin among 114 postal codes, some of which have no business being designated a hotspot
"Doug Ford has let COVID-19 run rampant through Scarborough, tearing through families and workforces," said Doly Begum, MPP for Scarborough Southwest. "The government has avoided action, and tried to ignore us and leave us behind.
"If we were getting an equitable share of vaccines, people wouldn't be lined up at pop-ups in the wee hours, praying that they'll get a chance to protect themselves. What kind of a government forces people to get health care that way?" | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaCommonCrawl'} | 446 |
SHANE MCLEOD: Now to science that's so small you can't see it. Nanotechnology is the re-engineering of tiny particles measured in billionths of a metre. Now researchers have revealed that some nanoparticles can damage DNA without even penetrating cells.
The discovery, published in the science journal Nature fuels concerns of the human health risks of the rapidly expanding technology. It's led to renewed calls for mandatory labelling of nano-ingredients in common household products, including sunscreens.
BRONWYN HERBERT: From cosmetics and sunscreens to clothes and medicines, products using nanotechnology are all around. Now scientists from the University of Bristol have discovered these minuscule particles can actually interfere with the basic building blocks of life - DNA.
In laboratory experiments scientists grew a barrier of human cells to mimic the protective tissues found in the body. They then placed nano-scale particles on one side of the barrier in an attempt to see how well the barrier worked.
EXCERPT FROM REPORT: Not only did we see damage on the other side of the barrier; we saw as much damage as if we had not had a barrier at all.
BRONWYN HERBERT: The work is published in the science journal Nature.
Professor Thomas Faunce from the Australian National University is an Australian Research council fellow in nanotechnology regulation. He says this British study is interesting because it shows nanoparticles can be toxic to cells even if they don't get inside them.
THOMAS FAUNCE: So that means potentially that whilst nano-toxicological research has focused on looking at what happens if we put nanoparticles inside these type of cells, or what happens if we put in experimental animals nanoparticles into these organs.
What they're saying is once nanoparticles are in the body, they have a capacity to cause toxicological effects at a distance.
BRONWYN HERBERT: Professor Faunce says the research is likely to shape future experiments in nano-toxicology.
THOMAS FAUNCE: So once they get in the blood stream for example or the lymphatic circulation, they may start to have a deleterious effect on cells.
So that means that the way in which researchers develop experimental protocols, investigating nano-toxicology, may need to be rethought as a result of this. Some of the experiments may need to be revisited to make sure we're actually looking for the right effect.
BRONWYN HERBERT: New South Wales Greens MP Lee Rhiannon has campaigned heavily on the issues surrounding nanotechnology.
LEE RHIANNON: This research is laboratory based and there needs to be further research but we need to have a precautionary approach here. There have now been numerous studies about the impact of nano-materials.
BRONWYN HERBERT: Lee Rhiannon says there's no legal requirement to label materials that contain nanoparticles and no laws to manage risks for workers who are exposed to the technology.
LEE RHIANNON: Let's remember already nano-materials are in many clothes, medicines, foods, cosmetics, building materials. And both the consumers and the workers who handle these materials could well be at risk already.
BRONWYN HERBERT: Georgia Miller is a spokeswoman for Friends of the Earth.
GEORGIA MILLER: There is actually an even greater need to make sure that nano-products do go through safety testing. And it also shows us that we actually need to expand the range of safety tests that we require because these nanoparticles they can actually damage DNA and chromosomes without even getting into cells.
BRONWYN HERBERT: Greens MP Lee Rhiannon says the large regulatory gaps now need to be closed.
LEE RHIANNON: There's regulations need to be put in place at both the state and a federal level. With summer approaching there is an added urgency here because there is considerable sunscreen products that do carry nano-materials. That's why we need mandatory labelling of nano-ingredients.
BRONWYN HERBERT: The Bristol based scientists say on the upside their findings could also point to new ways in which nano-therapies could help fight tumours.

June's HIV+ Eatery
Casey House is taking a bold step forward by igniting a conversation around the stigma people living with HIV experience. The new campaign, Break Bread Smash Stigma was inspired by a study revealing shocking statistics around Canadians' perceptions of people living with HIV/AIDs.
Despite the fact that HIV cannot be transmitted through food preparation or sharing of food, according to the Smash Stigma survey, only half of Canadians would knowingly share food with, or eat food prepared by, someone who is HIV positive. This misconception inspired Casey House to open the world's first pop-up restaurant run by HIV positive chefs.
June's, named after Casey House's founder and prolific Canadian activist June Callwood, will pop up in Toronto from November 7-8 in collaboration with chef Matt Basile of Fidel Gastro. Chef Basile will work with 14 HIV positive individuals-turned-cooks to develop the menu, train, and cook for patrons when the restaurant opens. "The stigma around HIV and AIDS is still very real, isolating many patients across the city, the country and the globe," said Kenneth Poon, Casey House client. "I stand proud to be part of this powerful group of 14 HIV positive chefs to boldly break barriers and end the isolation that I have felt and others continue to feel. Through the compassionate care that I received at Casey House, I made it through those darkest days and I am here today, helping others who are living with HIV/AIDS."
Tickets to this one-of-a-kind dining experience are available at juneseatery.ca.
June's HIV+ Eatery was created in partnership with Canada's largest independent agency, Bensimon Byrne and is presented by RBC. "This is a unique and thought-provoking event, and we are honoured to be a part of it," Lawrence Spicer, RBC Vice President, Audit. "The conversations it will stimulate should help reduce the stigma faced by people living with HIV/AIDS." | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaCommonCrawl'} | 448 |

"These are commonly in use drugs for settle with rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases, and the end was whether or not they increased the risk of shingles.
We found there is no increased hazard when using these drugs, which was reassuring," said scan author Dr Kevin Winthrop, colleague professor of infectious disease and notable health and preventive medicine at Oregon Health and Science University in Portland vigrxbox.com.

Rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune conditions are treated with many another medications that advise dampen the immune set-up and, hopefully, the autoimmune attack.

Scientists Can Not Determine The Cause Of Autism
Scientists Can Not Determine The Cause Of Autism.
Some children who are diagnosed with autism at an at maturity will at the end of the day surge all signs and symptoms of the scramble as they enter adolescence or young adulthood, a new assay contends. Whether that happens because of aggressive interventions or whether it boils down to biology and genetics is still unclear, the researchers noted, although experts have a sneaking suspicion it is most liable to a set of the two scriptovore.com. The finding stems from a tidy analysis of 34 children who were deemed "normal" at the study's start, without considering having been diagnosed with autism before the stage of 5.
So "Generally, autism is looked at as a lifelong disorder," said deliberate over originator Deborah Fein, a professor in the departments of constitution and pediatrics at the University of Connecticut desi girls quick pre cum. "The tactic of this work was really to demonstrate and describe this phenomenon, in which some children can move off the autism spectrum and undeniably go on to function like normal adolescents in all areas, and end up mainstreamed in legal classrooms with no one-on-one support.
And "Although we don't remember just what percent of these kids are capable of this kind of extraordinary outcome, we do know it's a minority," she added. "We're certainly talking about less than 25 percent of those diagnosed with autism at an original age. "Certainly all autistic children can get better and broaden with sound therapy," Fein said. "But this is not just about fit therapy. I've seen thousands of kids who have great psychotherapy but don't go to this result 4rxbox.com. It's very, very high-level that parents who don't see this outcome not texture as if they did something wrong".
Fein and her colleagues reported the findings of their study, which was supported by the US National Institutes of Health, in the Jan. 15 scion of the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry. The 34 individuals time past diagnosed with autism (most between the ages of 2 and 4) were heavy-handedly between the ages of 8 and 21 during the study. They were compared to a order of 44 individuals with high-functioning autism and a restraint number of 34 "normal" peers.
In-depth gormless review of each child's prototype diagnostic appear revealed that the now-"optimal outcome" grouping had, as young children, shown signs of public impairment that was milder than the 44 children who had "high-functioning" autism. As issue children, the now-optimal heap had suffered from equally severe communication worsening and repetitive behaviors as those in the high-functioning group.

The First Drug Appeared During 140-130 BC
The First Drug Appeared During 140-130 BC.
Archeologists investigating an primordial shipwreck off the shore of Tuscany reveal they have stumbled upon a few and far between find: a tightly closed tin container with well-preserved c physic dating back to about 140-130 BC. A multi-disciplinary crew analyzed fragments of the green-gray tablets to disentangle their chemical, mineralogical and botanical composition 4 rx box. The results extend a have a gander into the complexity and savoir faire of ancient therapeutics.
So "The research highlights the continuity from then until now in the use of some substances for the therapy of human diseases," said archeologist and pattern researcher Gianna Giachi, a chemist at the Archeological Heritage of Tuscany, in Florence, Italy purchase vaso ul. "The delve into also shows the punctiliousness that was entranced in choosing complex mixtures of products - olive oil, pine resin, starch - in commission to get the desired restorative capacity and to help in the preparation and germaneness of medicine".
The medicines and other materials were found together in a secure space and are thought to have been originally packed in a thorax that seems to have belonged to a physician, said Alain Touwaide, methodical director of the Institute for the Preservation of Medical Traditions, in Washington, DC Touwaide is a associate of the multi-disciplinary gang that analyzed the materials buy ginsomin on line. The tablets contained an iron oxide, as well as starch, beeswax, pine resin and a mixing of plant-and-animal-derived lipids, or fats.
Touwaide said botanists on the inspect group discovered that the tablets also contained carrot, radish, parsley, celery, fantastic onion and cabbage - modest plants that would be found in a garden. Giachi said that the compounding and adjust of the tablets suggest they may have been second-hand to treat the eyes, maybe as an eyewash. But Touwaide, who compared findings from the criticism to what has been understood from ancient texts about medicine, said the metallic component found in the tablets was seemingly cast-off not just for eyewashes but also to treat wounds.
The discovery, Touwaide said, is witness of the effectiveness of some true medicines that have been used for literally thousands of years.

*Spoiler* William Regal reveals his big WWE NXT announcements
by SIMONE BRUGNOLI | VIEW 374
In recent years, the WWE with its NXT has accustomed us to the most disparate competitions and stipulations, with several matches and ppvs that have been brought back to life from its glorious past and that of the WCW, such as the War Games of the homonymous TakeOver or the reappearance of the In Your House brand, revised this year as a special show on the Stamford company's Wednesday night yellow roster.
Apparently, this time, the General Manager of the third roster of the McMahon-owned federation is said to have even decided to come up with a stipulation for a whole new match, with the next match that will serve to decide the n° 1 contender for the absolute title currently in the hands of Finn Balor, which will in fact be the first "Gauntlet Eliminator" match in WWE history.
As reported in the last episode of the yellow show that aired in the night, the GM of the USA Network Wednesday night show William Regal is said to have announced that next week we will have not one but two new n° 1 contenders, one in the female title and one for the absolute title of NXT, with Io Shirai and Finn Balor getting to know their future adversaries.
What immediately jumped to the eyes and ears of WWE Universe fans, however, is the bizarre stipulation that William Regal seems to have imposed on the match for the contender n° 1 for the title of Balor, with the match that will in fact be a quite particular Gauntlet match.
William Regal reveals his big WWE NXT announcements
In the stipulation introduced by William Regal, in fact, there will not be the usual entry of a new wrestler at each elimination, but every 4 minutes, another colleague will join the contest, with the only way to eliminate the opponents who will be submission or pinfall.
It seems so evident that in some situations, the ring can contain 4 or 5 wrestlers all together. At the moment, the wrestler's income to the match would not have been assigned yet, but for sure some faces that we will see in the first WWE Gauntlet Eliminator will be: Cameron Grimes, Ridge Holland, Santos Escobar, Velveteen Dream, Bronson Reed and many others.
No mention has been made at the moment for Johnny Gargano or Adam Cole, although it would make sense to think of them after participating in the one-hour Fatal 4 Way Iron Man match a few weeks ago, just valid for the NXT title.
Tommaso Ciampa, on the other hand, should be engaged in a match against Jake Atlas, so his presence in the match should not be ascertained. The Gauntlet Eliminator will see two Superstars start the match, and a new competitor will enter every 4 minutes.
The only way to be eliminated is by pinfall or submission. The last competitor standing will be crowned the new #1 contender for a title match with NXT Champion Finn Balor at Takeover on Sunday, October 4. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaCommonCrawl'} | 454 |

Nas-Backed Video Company Mass Appeal Partners With Maker Studios
The graffiti magazine now produces various series for the web
Lucas Shaw | October 8, 2013 @ 4:40 PM
Mass Appeal, a graffiti magazine turned online video company, has partnered with online video giant Maker Studios to make shows about urban culture, the two companies said Tuesday.
Mass Appeal suspended publication in 2008, but several investors, including rappers Nas and Pusha T, contributed to a $1.3 million Series A round to resurrect it. Mass Appeal now produces shows about music producers, skating and other elements of modern culture.
See video: Maker Studios Chief – What Viacom Is to Cable We Are to Video
It will work with Maker to producer branded content for advertisers and produce a new show taking viewers behind the scenes of music video production. Maker will distribute and sell ads against Mass Appeal's channel, using its optimization techniques to increase its viewership.
"They see us as filling a void in their music space," Mass Appeal CEO Matt McRoberts told TheWrap, noting that his company would benefit from Maker's massive audience on YouTube. The sprawling network of channels generates more than four billion views a month. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaCommonCrawl'} | 457 |
SALEM, Ore.– Gretchen Olsen had one of those bounce back games that every athlete wishes to have.
All of her 21 points came from beyond the arch, seven three-pointers, in South Salem's 69-25 win over McKay Saturday night, and the Junior credits her teammates around her in setting her up for her offensive performance.
Speaking of James, the sophomore guard played beyond her grade-level once more in sparking the Lady Saxons 34-2 run to turn a 15-14 McKay lead into a 48-17 South Salem lead midway through the third quarter.
The Saxons defense, with James' quickness helped flip that figurative switch that led into South Salem's offense off of turnovers to spark the run.
The Scots, who held the high-powered offense in the Saxons to 15 points before the switch, saw Anita Lao snap that run with 3:25 left in the third quarter for two of her five points Saturday night.
Lao admits that their effort was there, they seemed as if they ran out of gas against the quick pace of the South Salem offense as they wrap up the first half of Mountain Valley Conference play at Summit on Thursday.
Lao pointed to how they still worked together and not fall for the old McKay trap of hanging their heads when times got tough as they turn their focus to the Storm.
"In the beginning we were battling with them, we were holding head-and-head with them and then in the second half we were starting to get a little tired and they were out-working us," said Lao. "But we're still able to keep our heads up and work together as a team and I feel like that really shows how good a team is by still working together and not getting selfish.
Leva Mike scored a team-high eight points and Diana Cruz added another five for the Lady Scots. James finished with 15 points for the Saxons and Delaney Keith contributed another eight. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 458 |
Whether you are installing a new roof on a new house or replacing an older roof that is no longer doing its job, there are many choices in terms of the types of roofing materials available. Some of the different options include asphalt shingles, tile roofing, metal roofing and more.
Factors that determine what type of roofing is best to include the slope and complexity of the roof, as well as the style of the house, local climate and the cost of different roofing options.
At Marshall Exteriors of The Greater Finger Lakes Area, you can trust that you'll have the best roofing in no time!
Contact us today for your Free Estimate. We provide quality roofing services, including roof repair, roof replacement and installation in Fairport, Canandaigua, Geneva, Newark, and the surrounding areas of New York!
Manufacturers have created asphalt shingles that imitate the look of wood and slate.
Although these terms are used interchangeably, most roof shingles used today are technically known as asphalt fiberglass shingles. The fiberglass mat embedded in the shingle provides an extra measure of strength and tear resistance.
These shingles are the most popular type of roofing for sloped roofs because they're affordable, easy to install, durable, and available in a wide variety of colors. Premium grades of "laminated" asphalt fiberglass shingles are warrantied for 50 years by a GAF Master Elite Contractor like Marshall Exteriors.
Metal roofing styles range from standing seam styles to shingle look-a-likes.
Metal roofing is a huge category that includes factory-formed and finished roofing panels as well as roofing panels that are cut and formed at the building site. Metal roofing has a long history of use on houses, farm structures and commercial buildings. Its main limitation is that it's not suitable for use on complex or curved roofs. Like corrugated roofing, many metal roofs can be installed directly over a worn-out older roof without tearing off the old roofing material.
Corrugated metal roofing panels offer a great solution for sheds and other garden structures.
Corrugated roofing is easy to spot because of its distinctive form; it's a thin sheet that contains a symmetrical pattern of alternating ridges and grooves. Most corrugated roofing comes in sheet form, but large shingles are available from some manufacturers. This type of roofing can be made from steel, polycarbonate or an asphalt-fiberglass composite. It's more appropriate for agricultural and commercial buildings and for small sheds than it is for houses. One important advantage with corrugated roofing is that it can be fastened down over an existing shingled roof without removing the original roofing material.
Solar roofing is one of the easiest ways to produce energy for your home.

Mr. McCain is the third executive to hold the title of president since Hensley's inception 62 years ago. Hensley is the primary distributor of Anheuser-Busch beers, local and regional craft beers, fine wines, premium spirits, and non-alcohol beverages including energy drinks, water and soda in the state of Arizona.
Jim Hensley founded Hensley & Company in 1955 with just 12 employees. Operating now as Hensley Beverage Company, the organization currently has 1,100 employees and nearly 10,000 retail customers.

Robert Delgado, named president in 1994, and chief executive officer in 2000, will continue to lead the organization as CEO.
Mr. McCain graduated from Vanderbilt University with a master's in business administration in 1986 and began his career with Hensley in 1996 after a successful career in banking. He rose through the ranks in various positions, and since 2013 has served as both COO and CFO. He oversees and manages Hensley's operations, finance, treasury, accounting, strategic planning; information technology and sales and marketing operations.
Mr. McCain also recently served as chairman of the Anheuser-Busch Wholesaler Panel, which represents the United States A-B Wholesaler network. Following in Mr. Delgado's footsteps, he has also led or been a member of numerous community organizations and believes strongly in giving back to the communities Hensley serves.
Mr. Delgado has led Hensley Beverage Company through significant changes, challenges and milestones during his 42-year tenure, including a major structural re-organization in 1994.
Mr. Delgado said, "Andy has earned and is deserving of this new title. He is an individual of strong character, high integrity, and demonstrates the highest ethical standards. The combination of his intellect, keen business instincts, and thorough knowledge of our business has him well prepared for this role. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 460 |

Last name: Haigh
This surname is of Anglo-Saxon origin, and may be either a topographical name from residence by an enclosure, deriving from the Olde English pre 7th Century "haga", cognate with the Old Norse "hagi", hedged field; or locational from Haigh in West Yorkshire, or in Lancashire. Both of these places were recorded as "Hagh" in the Pipe Rolls of the respective counties, dated 1194 - 1198, and are named from "haga" or hagi" (as above). Topographical surnames were among the earliest created, since both natural and man-made features in the landscape provided easily recognisable distinguishing names in the small communities of the Middle Ages. Locational names were originally given to the Lord of the Manor, or as a means of identification to those who left their place of origin to settle elsewhere. The surname first appears on record in England in the early part of the 13th Century (see below). Petrus del Hage, whose name occurs in Scottish documents, dated 1160, is believed to have originally come from La Hague in Manche, Normandy, named from the Old Norse "hagi". In the modern idiom the name is spelt Haig, Hague and Haigh, the last mentioned form being most widespread in Yorkshire. On April 19th 1545, Alice Haigh and William Wilson were married in Halifax, Yorkshire. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Jollan de Hagh, which was dated 1222, in the "Close Rolls of Yorkshire", during the reign of King Henry 111, known as "The Frenchman", 1216 - 1272. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

In January, music's reigning icon Rihanna visited a school in Malawi to learn about the educational challenges facing students there. Besides singing some of the most popular music on the planet, Rihanna is also an avowed humanitarian and the founder of the Clara Lionel Foundation, which has partnered with Global Citizen and the Global Partnership for Education to advocate for improving access to education for some of the world's poorest students.
During her visit to Malawi, Rihanna took a turn at the blackboard teaching math, reading with kids, and leading chants on the playground. A small percentage of students in Malawi manage to complete secondary school, according to Rihanna's organization.
The experience was well-suited to the pop star's skill set.
The goal of Rihanna's visit was to help convince world leaders to commit $3.1 billion to funding the Global Partnership for Education, which works with education ministries in 89 countries to help them improve the quality of schooling for as many as 800 million children, according to the Global Citizen website. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 462 |

When did you start practicing yoga? I began practicing yoga in 2009 while attending college at The University of Texas at Arlington. A friend was very into yoga and suggested we should do yoga before we worked out; I agreed. I began yoga just as a pre-stretch to my actual workout, not getting much out of it. It didn't take long for me to discover the mental benefits from the experiences that have kept me practicing all these years.
When did you know you wanted to become an instructor? I'm not sure there was one specific "lightbulb" moment in particular that made me want to lead yoga. Over the years, having excellent yoga teachers who held space for me, that helped me push my limits, and grow spiritually was something I aspired to do for others. With all the chaos going on in the world, when I practice yoga I feel a sense of peace and an overwhelming understanding that everything is going to be okay. Being able to provide that experience for others is a pleasure for me.
What advice do you have for other yogis on the path to become an instructor or find their niche? Just do it! I struggled initially with pursing yoga teacher training because I felt like I wasn't flexible enough, strong enough, skinny enough, or just not enough; which I now see was a waste of my energy. You don't have to be this perfect person or yogi, you just have to have a willingness to learn. The teacher-training course I took was so insightful because it really hammered in the fact that the physical practice of yoga is only an eighth of what yoga is about. There are so many other layers to this practice, so worrying about what you look on the outside has nothing to do with the internal practice that is yoga. I think if anyone is interested in learning more about yoga they should take a course with the intention to learn more, not necessarily to teach and see where they find themselves.
Where has your journey with yoga currently taken you?
Since graduating from my yoga teacher training, I knew I wanted to travel and teach yoga. I had heard about YogaTrade.com and decided to give it a try. YogaTrade allows yoga teachers to travel all around the world and teach yoga in exchange for free food & accommodation wherever you work. I was pretty open about where I wanted to go, so when I got my first opportunity in Cambodia, I quit my job, sold everything in my apartment, and took a leap of faith! I lived in a bamboo bungalow on the river in southern Cambodia for 3 months before getting my next YogaTrade opportunity in France. I went from Cambodia to southern France living in a castle with 20 other yoga teachers, teaching and renovating the castle to become a yoga retreat.
I am so thankful that yoga has taken me all over the world and allowed me the opportunity to meet people from everywhere and learn so much about myself.
How can our readers keep up with your adventures? As I travel around, I blog on my website NamasteConCharde.com and constantly post on my social media platforms @NamasteConCharde. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 465 |

For a few years now HP has been doing its optimum to win over the top class client Ultrabook market with its Spectre series. it's working. The Spectres normally demonstrate what respectable design engineering can do for a corporation.
The 13-inch Spectre x360 is probably the most frequent (and normal) of the Spectre sequence, and its newest revision displays a lot of respectable stuff. youngsters, HP nevertheless has a couple of small areas the place it may improve.
bottom line: The latest HP Spectre x360 13t is the sharpest searching laptop from HP yet, with amazing construct great, preferred ports, features, and unbelievable battery lifestyles. It could be the premiere featured 13-inch 2-in-1 in the marketplace, however its negative trackpad makes us sad. Very sad.
Thick true and backside bezels.
No place to shop the pen.
The HP Spectre x360 13t's all-new "gem-reduce" design brings sharp, angular edges to the metallic chassis. The design is a pointy departure from the extra rounded hinge area from the ultimate mannequin (see my overview). or not it's exceptionally sizeable close the back the place the corners were lopped off in want of hard angles. That design is rarely just for flare however for the classification-C port (correct facet) and the vigour button (left side). a kind-C peripheral or charging cable now clears the laptop with out blocking off your mouse hand, and that energy button is much tougher to hit by accident when in pill mode. it be wise engineering that happens to be desirable too.
HP claims the dual chamfer edges also make the lid less demanding to carry no be counted which aspect you might be opening it from. The design aspect even filters down to the speaker holes, which HP claims were drilled in a particular pattern supposed to enhance "acoustic transparency." This technology additionally comprises a trendy new colour, known as "Poseidon blue," with brass accents, adding to the dark ash silver attainable on old models.
This new Spectre is just a little thicker (14.5 mm compared to last year's at 13.6 mm) and heavier (2.9 lbs versus 2.85 lbs), however the difference is barely great, and it lets HP get more advantageous thermal dissipation, extra performance and multiplied battery lifestyles.
HP additionally up to date the processor to the newest Intel eighth technology 15-watt Core i7 processor, presents non-compulsory 4G LTE help, Gigabit Wi-Fi, and the enterprise moved the fingerprint reader from the aspect to the correct deck.
The screen bezels at the moment are 5.7 p.c thinner than the ultimate model (notwithstanding they are nonetheless rather tremendous on the right and backside).
All these changes add up to make this Spectre x360 an bold refresh to HP's premium Ultrabook line.
The Spectre x360 13t's 13.3-inch full HD monitor is without doubt one of the more advantageous ones we've tested. With round 320 nits of brightness and 98 percent, sRGB colour accuracy the tones and balance appear fantastic. Like other HP models there are alternate options for a 4K panel – which whereas looking top notch is likely overkill for a lot of – and HP's new privacy display dubbed certain View.
About these thick appropriate and bottom bezels ... HP insists on inserting the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth antennas at the good for greatest reception, but consequently, the bezels are unusually gigantic for a top class Ultrabook in 2019.
The covered pen for inking is N-trig based (versus Wacom), and it really works somewhat smartly for casual use. despite the fact, there is not any storage or magnets for the pen, which makes traveling with it a bit complicated.
HP still makes one of the most most excellent and "crispiest" keyboards on the market for Ultrabooks. With huge chicklet-trend keys with enjoyable spacing, the Spectre x360's keyboard has abundant shuttle. The keyboard is additionally part-to-facet with a committed home row on the correct-hand aspect. This keyboard is arguably one of the most suitable round, handiest just a little bested by way of the softer, plusher surface laptop 2.
Audio is astounding. HP currently begun to make use of a quad-speaker array in its premium enterprise (EliteBook) and purchaser (Spectre) sequence of laptops, with tons success. The software is tuned by using Bang & Olufsen as has been the case for years now. Two of the audio system are positioned at the back of the keyboard near the reveal with two greater below the entrance of the desktop, close the edge. Such placement lets the audio bounce off the reveal and again on the user, providing crisp sound. however may well be more suitable with greater bass and resonance. the two audio system on correct and two on the bottom suggest that when used as a tablet or in tent mode you've got a better opportunity for consistent sound.
The trackpad is the place things go sour for the Spectre x360 13t. The hardware and design with the gold trim are unbelievable. clean glass, big elongated design, and a lovely click all work in desire of the 13t. but it surely's betrayed through the shoddy Synaptics application drivers that vigour it. The persevered omission of Microsoft Precision drivers is a blight that HP needs to rectify. Scrolling can also be janky and pinch to zoom wildly inconsistent, and such an egregious oversight in 2019 almost ruins the entire adventure of the Spectre x360 13t.
The Spectre x360 13t uses a well-known Intel Core i7 8565U processor, however it can even be configured with an Intel i5-8265U. each are the latest from Intel, are quad-core, and 15-watt normal Ultrabook processors.
in the past, HP has caught flak for having less than stellar thermal administration, but most of it is addressed with this edition. heat and fan noise are decreased partly on account of the use of smaller twin-fanatics as an alternative of 1 bigger single one. HP for the primary time is additionally including thermal management software, referred to as HP Command center. The elementary app allows you to toggle between diverse power modes, which then influences the warmth dissipation quantity and fan-noise ranges. it's first rate application and some thing the enterprise should still raise over to its business-themed EliteBook latitude.
There is no dedicated GPU in such a thin machine, however the Intel UHD 620 gets the job.
performance is in line with similar laptops despite the fact Huawei today is pushing its processors more durable than HP, which results in a bit better benchmarks.
HP is the usage of a newer Western Digital SSD with decent outcomes. Our mannequin has a 256GB power with astounding speeds.
You may argue that HP very nearly over-engineered its new Spectre series of laptops. The designs are pleasing, but also pragmatic and functional. The consideration to element for the buttons and design is to be recommended.
one of the most stylish 2-in-1 PCs during this funds.
New aspects like the privateness killswitch for the net digital camera are welcomed. Sticking with home windows whats up for facial focus and a fingerprint reader is a good selection. The performance and ordinary consider of the laptop are among the most efficient we now have tested.
Battery existence is rated at a loopy 22 hours by HP, but the real-life journey is greater like ten hours or just a little extra, which remains spectacular. Port selection, elements, and audio are also all neatly above usual.
Even the beginning cost of $1,050 for a Core i5 configuration with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage is respectable sufficient for most commonplace consumers. For that expense, they will be handled to one of the most dependent 2-in-1 PCs round.
HP even lets users configure a mannequin with 4G LTE. When combined with the slim, light physique, and all-day battery life, it truly is a winning aggregate.
however some of it's betrayed through HP's insistence on using Synaptics drivers for the trackpad and the rather big proper and backside display bezels. while effortlessly navigating windows and using apps like office consider good enough on the trackpad, using apps akin to Twitter, GroupMe, or the facet browser while scrolling and the usage of pinch-to-zoom can be wildly janky. there isn't any excuse for this, as those Synaptics drivers do not offer a single advantage to the customer when compared to Precision drivers. HP is among the closing computing device makers to stick with Synaptics, and it be unacceptable in 2019.
That blemish is unlucky as a result of HP is making staggering hardware, most effective to go back and forth on such a simple aspect like the trackpad. whereas I consider many clients can live with the Spectre's trackpad, or not it's the one factor that maintains me from the usage of one of those PCs as my each day computing device.
The all-new Spectre x360 13t demonstrates HP can do jaw-losing hardware and design. first rate efficiency, brilliant features, stylish aesthetics, plus a good price make this probably the most most beneficial values around. Too unhealthy about that trackpad.

Hewlett-Packard has become a Platinum member of the Linux Foundation, the organization responsible for Linux and other open-source software projects.
Linux is a free operating system whose source is open—published on the Web and available for anyone to contribute fixes or upgrades. Over the years, versions of it from players like Red Hat, SUSE, and Canonical have become popular alternatives to Microsoft Windows Server. Linux is also used as an operating system built into non-computer gadgets, like some of HP's printers.
So HP has been involved with the Linux Foundation for a long time. But the reason for it to step up its contributions is getting a bigger say in the cloud. HP needs to ramp up its own cloud-computing offerings and sell servers to enterprises building their own private clouds.
Another cloud player, Citrix, had the same thought. It too i ncreased its membership today, to the Gold level.
Interestingly, now that HP has become a Linux power player, it leads to some interesting questions about HP's PC business.
Linux is also available for PCs, although it's not a very popular choice on desktops compared to Windows or Macs. But Microsoft has HP in a headlock. HP's PC business accounts for about one-third of the company's revenue and the company is stuck with Windows, even as Microsoft competes with HP with its own Surface tablet.
Closer ties with the Linux Foundation could signal that HP may want to look at Linux as a way out of that headlock. Linux is a particularly good choice for low-cost PCs sold in in developing markets like Asia.
HP joins other Linux Foundation platinum members like Fujitsu, IBM, Intel, NEC, Oracle, Samsung, and Qualcomm.
When those of us from the network side of the universe think of HP management tools, HP OpenView generally pops to mind. For those of you not in the know, HP OpenView was recently rechristened HP Software. HP's application performance management capabilities nest within the HP Software toolset under the heading Business Technology Optimization (BTO) software within a solution subset called HP Business Availability Center (BAC). Confused yet? This week we profile HP's application performance-related BAC solution modules, and ask users to share thoughts, opinions and experiences with the community.
HP adopted a highly modular approach to its BAC product suite, and it took a bit of research and gray matter for us to ferret out the subset of application performance management components. Described as a "comprehensive business service and application management solution," HP BAC includes 13 product modules, four of which are directly related to application performance management. HP's Business Availability Center product marketing manager, Chane Cullens, tells us that purchasing the BAC product suite is like buying an American car with lots of extra optional features, compared to buying a Japanese car with those features bundled.
The two most well established BAC application performance management modules—the HP Business Process Monitor software module and the HP Real User Monitor software module—measure the user experience. Both tools joined the HP product lineup with the 2006 acquisition of Mercury Interactive.
HP Business Process Monitor runs synthetic transactions from multiple locations to proactively identify availability and performance issues. Chane Cullen tells us that every BAC customer purchases the HP Business Process Monitor because it is an indispensible component of the BAC suite.
HP Real User Monitor (a.k.a. RUM) software monitors the actual experience and behavior of every end user from every location for web applications and applications using other standard protocols. RUM helps catch and fix intermittent problems by capturing the exact conditions under which the problem occurred. The RUM software runs on a high-speed hardware appliance connected to a spanning port tap in the data center (and sometimes from other locations).
As we ask at the end of each one of our application performance management tool profiles, if you have deployed the HP BAC application performance tools tell us what you think. Do they live up to your expectations? What were your impressions? A simple "I like it", "I have mixed feelings", or "I hate it" response is fine—but if you have insight to share with the community, then talk all you want. You can post a reply to this blog using your name or anonymously. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 468 |

The registry obtains the majority of its data from hospitals. However, an increasing number of cancer cases are diagnosed and treated outside of the hospital setting. Thus, to achieve complete case ascertainment, physicians are required to report to the LTR as well. State law requires physicians to report electronically. Additionally, this requirement supports the criterion to qualify for Stage 2 Meaningful Use (MU2) incentives from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
State law requires physicians to report cancer cases within 2 months of diagnosis. If cases are not submitted in compliance with the law, personnel from the LTR may access the records to screen and abstract the required information. The physician will reimburse the LTR for this service.
Reportable cases are any newly diagnosed in situ or invasive neoplasms, as well as benign and borderline tumors of the brain and central nervous system. As for skin cancers, only melanoma cases (including melanoma in situ) are reportable. Basal cell carcinoma, papillary carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma cases are NOT reportable. Information about out-of-state residents diagnosed and/or treated in Louisiana is also reportable. The LTR can require reporting of precursor lesions for special surveillance programs.
The below flowchart will help you decide which reporting option will best suit your needs. Please contact [email protected] for more information about reporting electronically. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 470 |
How Egypt can build lasting democracy in a post-Mubarak world
by Larry Diamond
Two decades after the fall of Soviet-bloc dictatorships, popular movements for democracy are erupting in the last regional bastion of authoritarianism: the Arab world.
So far, only Tunisia's dictator, Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali, has been toppled, while Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak - who has ruled that ancient land longer than many pharaohs - announced Tuesday that he will step down in September. But other Arab autocrats are bound to go. From Algeria to Syria to Jordan, people are fed up with stagnation and injustice, and are mobilizing for democratic change.

TheBlueGuerilla: Team Paterson Clean-up as Luke Wins London in Tory Youth Elections.
Team Paterson Clean-up as Luke Wins London in Tory Youth Elections.
ALEXANDRA PATERSON has been elected the new Conservative Future (CF) National Chairman whilst her slate mates were all elected onto the Tory Youth National Executive and regional positions, with the exception of Charlotte Kude who was pipped to the post by the slick and professional campaign of Luke Springthorpe, TBG can sensationally reveal.
In a sensational fight for London, Luke Springthorpe dramatically overcame the odds with a well-run, media freindly campaign beating the juggernaut Team Paterson's Kude for the top job at London CF.
Sources alerted TBG yesterday that Springthorpe was feeling the pressure, "up against a team of people who have access to oodles of data and seemingly have a shrewd idea of where the votes are on Merlin."
New London CF Chairman Luke Springthorpe told TBG - "I thank Charlotte for running a clean campaign and wish her all the best. I look forward to getting the job done over the next year."
CF National Chairman elect Alexandra Paterson said - "Delighted to have been elected as CF National Chairman. Thank you to everyone who voted for me!"
The only genuine contest in this election was London, and Springthorpe annihilated Kude and "Team Paterson".
He'd probably have won if he stood for national chair, but either way he's now the people's champion in cf.
The only good thing about Puppet Paterson is that she is 29 so won't be able to stand next year.
Oh good morning SJ! Nice of you to stop by.
All hail Clarke the Kingmaker, grand high shagger of cf.
@11.40 - please don't credit my humour to Sarah-Jane. Just saying.
Err... we were told by SJS that the elections are fixed and that based on that Charlotte would win.
The one thing we wanted her to be right about ffs! Now we're stuck with 'Nabil number 2' Luke.
Finally a united national exec. Something even Howlett couldn't do. Well done TeamPaterson!!!
"just saying" is SJ's favourite phrase. You just revealed yourself... SJ!
Talk about being a bad winner, SJ; your boy won so maybe you should now focus on actually doing a degree?
@12:05, I thought "Sugar sorry XOXOXOX" was SJ's favourite phrase?
Those dastardly reptilians have completed their takeover of cf. Next stop: the world.
The reptilians have excomunicated on of their own in that case. Cooper is defiinitely a lizard. It is the forked tongue that allows him to convince so many girls into bed.
She's not really a winner, at all: she was destroyed before even getting going.
Can we just all move on and start bashing the socialists?!?! I'd rather a lizard nutter in no 10 than Miliband.
Paterson smashed it so lets all move on.
Paterson is already so damaged it is embarrassing. This election was a scam. They should have left Cooper in charge until 2015 - he was doing a solid job under difficult circumstances.
Cooper: a good job? Good lord! Though at least under him we had Regional chairmen instead of RoadTrip puppets. Nothing will happen in them now, save for London.
Paterson redefines incompetent. It's a real shame they knifed Cooper.
At least paterson only dances to Clarke's puppet strings rather than JSJ's.
Some people in North West CF really are pathetic, get a grip. Only because somebody doesn't get elected, shouldn't mean you resign in protest. It's called democracy!
Whoever is clinically insane to put the I am a Plaid and Labour Supporter, get a grip! | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 472 |
"Do you eat carbs?" he asked.
I ended the conversation telling him that before worrying about the nutrients the body needs he should make sure to follow the food rules. Then, we could continue on to the next step and take it one step at a time.
Most people are unsure about their diet and are confused thanks to all the inaccurate information. I recommend beginning small with the basic food rules, and you will see long-term results in your life.

Short Dhamma Stories for Kids, It is my great pleasure being able to present a "Short Dhamma Story" for children. I have translated "Punchi Bana Katha" which was written in Sinhalese by the Venerable Welewatte Gunaratana Thero. My main object of this noble work is to develop children's Dhamma knowledge and moral education. Most Venerable B. Sri Saranankara Adhikarana (Judiciary) Nayaka Maha Thera gave me his fullest support and encouraged me in my present work. So my respectful and sincere heartfelt thanks go to him. My very special thanks also goes to the President, Mr. G. Mervyn Weerasena and all members of the Siri Jayanti Association who pursed on my humble attempt. My special thanks goes to Venerable Welewatte Gunaratana Thero who gave me a proper consent to translate into English his Sinhalese book (Punci Bana Katha).
Buddhist path of liberation is indeed a process of purification of mind. Its preliminary step is found in the training of Sīla, which finds expression through right speech, right actions and right livelihood. The follower mainly to get rid of the mental defilements such as craving, aversion and ignorance practices these three steps of the Noble Eightfold path. It is evident that the wrong speech, wrong actions and wrong livelihood lead to the development of those defilements in the mind. Through the training of conduct (Sīla) most of the rough defilements can be restrained.
I once heard it said of man that the idea is to die young, as late as possible. At age 85, a favorite pastime of George H. W. Bush was firing up his boat, the Fidelity, and opening up the three 300-horsepower engines to fly, joyfully fly across the Atlantic, with the Secret Service boats straining to keep up. At age 90, George H. W. Bush parachuted out of an aircraft and landed on the grounds of St. Ann's by the Sea in Kennebunkport, Maine, the church where his mom was married and where he worshipped often. Mother liked to say he chose the location just in case the chute didn't open. In his 90s, he took great delight when his closest pal, James A. Baker, smuggled a bottle of Grey Goose vodka into his hospital room. Apparently it paired well with the steak Baker had delivered from Morton's.

Leeds United 0-3 Liverpool: Match Highlights
A trip back to Elland Road proved to be a delight for Liverpool as they beat Leeds United by 3 goals to nil in a match full of intensity with no seats left empty in the stadium.
The energy level rose as the game progressed. From the first blow of the whistle till the last kick of the ball, the crowd never let the energy levels to be dropped. Maintaining an electrifying atmosphere in the stadium, it was always going to be a difficult trip for Liverpool.
It took just 20 minutes into the game for Liverpool to break the deadlock. In doing so, the Egyptian winger Mohamed Salah scored his 100th Premier League goal in just 162 appearances. Thus, making him only the 2nd African to do so. Meanwhile, Leeds continued to attack but could find the finishing touch at the end.
The second half begins with an early goal for the Reds. Trent put a delightful ball into the box from a corner, which saw Fabinho scoring with a tap-in. Thereafter, giving the former Premier League champions a two-goal cushion.
With the increasing intensity of the game, Leeds defender Pascal Struijk got involved in a rash tackle on Harvey Elliott. Thus this eventually resulted in a red card for the Dutch defender and an injury for the England midfielder.
Meanwhile, Mane looked frustrated throughout the game. But as the game progressed, Liverpool's winger finally got himself on the score-sheet. Apart from the injury, it was a perfect result for Liverpool, making them the joint table-toppers alongside Chelsea and Manchester United.

Intel Hires WE To Lead PR Remit After Lengthy WPP Relationship
WE Communications has been handed Intel's communications mandate in the US and nine countries across EMEA and Asia, displacing WPP PR firms.
Diana Marszalek 02 Jun 2020 // 12:02AM GMT
SANTA CLARA, CA — Intel has consolidated its PR business in the US and other key global markets with WE Communications, hiring the firm for responsibilities that WPP firms have handled for more than a dozen years, PRovoke Media has learned.
After a roughly six-month review process, Intel selected WE to handle its corporate communications mandate in the US, six European countries (the UK, France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands and Russia), India, the UAE and Saudi Arabia, sources said.
WE replaces a WPP cross-agency team in the US and H+K Strategies in those specific European markets.
WPP firms have, however, retained some of their Intel business, as have local firms that handle the company's communications in markets including Germany and Australia. Incumbent Ogilvy will continue to work on Intel China, which has also added Axicom to its domestic PR roster. H+K will continue working with the company in EMEA, serving as Intel's agency in specific markets including Sweden.
BCW has also picked up Intel's business in Canada, replacing Ketchum, and will continue serving the account in Central and Latin America. Other agencies on the company's roster include Sard Verbinnen, which handles crisis communications, and Zeno, which covers Intel's drone business.
Neither Intel nor WE would provide comment. Sources, however, say the deal could become quite lucrative for WE as the partnership grows over time.
The move comes as Intel positions itself as a player in furthering innovations like AI and autonomous vehicles. Last year, the company grew its social media efforts to make its support of cutting-edge technology better known among influencers and media in the tech space.
It also comes on the heels of internal changes at Intel, including new leadership in its marcomms function. In July, Claire Dixon, who had been leading VMWare's comms, joined Intel as its chief communications officer. She replaced Laura Anderson, who left Intel after nearly two decades, and now leads communications for tech investment firm Silver Lake.
In October, Karen Walker joined Intel as CMO after 11 years at Cisco, the last five of which she served as that company's CMO. She replaced Steve Fund, who the company dismissed the previous January.
Widely known as one of the world's largest computer chip makers, Intel in early 2018 took a major reputational and financial hit with news that a design flaw in its processors put users' private information, such as security keys, passwords and files, at risk — and then the fix caused problems, too.
The company does, however, also produce a portfolio of products that enable advanced technology like AI and driverless cars. The company is keen to step up understanding of the latter initiatives, for which it remains less well known.

Mauren is a village with a strong identity within the Unterland of Liechtenstein - akin to a second child - Mauren is the most important village after its neighbour Eschen, and that can show in the competition between the two.

Just because you're excited to find your first home that in no way means you should subvert your wants and needs. The right deal may be worth compromise and sacrifice. Unless you're loaded, this will probably be your starter home, which means it may not check all of the boxes you have for your dream home. My condo isn't my ideal home, but it's perfect for the next few years. The price was right, the location was right, and there is a strong potential for long-term profit. It was the perfect deal.
Although the deal may be right, you still need to make sure it feels right. Houses for sale should be inspected and visited multiple times to help you make the right decision and make sure that the asking price is fair. Don't be afraid to negotiate, go to the home inspection, and learn the history of a place if possible. Always do your due diligence, it will save you plenty of trouble in the long term. Your realtor should guide you through each step and will negotiate on your behalf, so don't be scared of the process.
When you finally move in, do not stress yourself out about furniture. Your furniture doesn't have to be the most refined or even matching during this time. I've been in my place for almost 5 months and I'm still sofa-less. Think of ways you can repurpose or reupholster your pieces or ones from Goodwill or the thrift store. Also, check with family members to see if they have pieces they are willing to let go. Function over form should take precedence in your new home, take your time feeling out the place before you go running off to the nearest furniture store.
It might be hard to imagine after living in rented places or with your parents for so long, but your home will be fully yours to do with what you wish, unless you have a strict HOA. You can paint every room a different color, that's pretty tacky, but hey, it's your house! Organize it however you like, even with the most obsessive Feng Shui, or even hang a ten-foot portrait of yourself in the living room. Your home is your home, and it should reflect your personality. Exercise your autonomy here, it will help you settle in quicker.
Moving into a new home is a life milestone, so relax and enjoy the process! | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 486 |
Johannesburg, Tuesday, June 12, 2018 – The Independent Regulatory Board for Auditors (IRBA) has welcomed the publication of the feedback from The Monitoring Group's initial consultation process into strengthening the governance and oversight of the international audit-related standard-setting boards in the public interest. The IRBA is in support of reforms which will see the global standard-setting boards increase their independence from the profession, become more representative of the ultimate beneficiaries of high audit quality and increase the public interest focus in the work of standard setters.
Published on Monday 11 June, the paper outlines the feedback received from 179 respondents representing audit firms, the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) and its member bodies, national standard setters, public authorities (including regulators), academia, users, investors, and the international standard-setting boards themselves. In general, given the increasing focus on independence and the public interest role of auditors, the Monitoring Group has indicated that there is sufficiently broad support for reform for it to embark on the next step. It will now develop a White Paper around global standard setting reforms, which will include proposed solutions, funding, and transitional arrangements, for a consultation process by the end of this year.
Says Bernard Agulhas, CEO of the IRBA: "The appetite for reform reflected in the preliminary stakeholder consultation results is encouraging. While there is resistance and some opposition to some areas proposed in the consultation paper, these do not detract from or discount the importance of independence and public interest, Concerns seem to revolve more around practical implementation issues.
"We are not saying that current international auditing standards are not relevant or appropriate. However, it is our view that reform in pursuit of stronger public interest is key in efforts to restore confidence in the profession. In the setting of global auditing standards, we believe that it is increasingly important that the interests and expectations of the ultimate beneficiaries of high quality audit services must be considered.
During the process, stakeholders, in particular investors, raised the concern that developing auditing standards in the public interest will be challenging without sufficient representation of investors, asset managers and analyst in the standard setting process. The current standard setting boards are seen, whether real or perceived, to be dominated by the profession itself.
With its origins rooted in the 2003 International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) Reforms, the Monitoring Group supports the development of high-quality international standards for auditing and assurance and accountant ethics and education. It is ultimately responsible for the overall governance arrangements in this field, and provides for ultimate accountability to public authorities responsible for furthering the public interest in audit quality and standard setting. More specifically, and to that end, it monitors how the Public Interest Oversight Board (PIOB) carries out its public interest role with particular regard to the PIOB's oversight of the standard setting process. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 487 |
So this is my airplane. And by "my" I mean "our" airplane. Can't take sole ownership, since my father spent a fair amount of money in the old craft. And now that he is a fully licensed pilot at the young age of 70, perhaps he'll finally get to take left seat control.
Let's talk about buying an airplane. It may be the worst financial decision one can have other than buying a boat. Boats are fun, and when you sit on the shoreline of a lake or along the beaches of the Gulf, you see people in boats and think, "wish that was me, for if I were to own that boat, I'd sail or power my way down the coastline, fishing and drinking beer, and getting a nice tan." Then you buy the boat, and of course you buy a used boat, and it sits on the trailer awaiting the adventures you promised. Now, I've owned a boat, and I spent a lot of time on that boat. Mostly floating on a body of water waiting to get towed back to shore after the engine conked out. Again. And owning a boat in Florida – all great if you have the money for a slip in the local marina. But if you're putting it in and out of the water yourself, let me tell you its hot and stinking hard work in the middle of a July summer.
So now you own an airplane and you've found it a hangar to reside in, and you wait for weather to break. You'll sit at work and smell the avgas and the oil still buried under your fingernails and smile. You'll go to bed and dream about that last slip to landing, or the swale in the grass that caught you off guard and made your passenger yell "Whoa!" You'll find yourself in a club of other aviators and plane owners that have nothing but stories and tales of misadventure. 99% of them are all false, but you won't care.
If the weather is bad, you'll still just want to go down to the hangar and sit under the wing and stare at your plane or talk to it – just so you don't do that in front of other people. As you meet new people, you will bring them to the airport and show off your plane and get them to go flying with you, whether they want to or not. And quite frankly, anyone that hates flying, you'll stare, jaw open, and eyebrow raised. Basically the same expression someone would have if an Alien from Mars landed in your backyard and suddenly started speaking in a very English accent that he'd like to borrow your phone to dial home.
You'll name your plane of course. And you probably have some pet names for it too, but only in secret since your friends will make fun of you. And don't lie, you know you've kissed the nose cone at least once.
Now, what idiot would do that for a boat? | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 488 |

Israel and Greece Sign Tourism Agreement

The ICC's chief prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda
Thursday, 11 February 2021 | The highly politicized International Criminal Court [ICC] just declared statehood for Palestinians. They did it without any negotiation with Israel, without any compromise and without any recognized boundaries. They also did it without any legal authority, because the Rome Statute, which established the ICC, makes no provision for this criminal court to recognize new states. Moreover, neither Israel nor the United States ratified that treaty, so the decisions of the ICC are not binding on them. Nor is this divided decision binding on signatories, since it exceeds the authority of the so-called court.
I say "so-called" court because the ICC is not a real court in any meaningful sense of that word. Unlike real courts, which have statutes and common law to interpret, the ICC just makes it up. As the dissenting judge so aptly pointed out, the Palestine decision is not based on existing law. It is based on pure politics. And the politics of the majority decision is based in turn on applying a double standard to Israel—as the United Nations, the International Court of Justice and other international bodies have long done.
There are numerous other groups—the Kurds, the Chechens and the Tibetans among them—who claim some degree of independence. Yet neither the ICC nor other international organizations has ever given them the time of day. But the Palestinians—both in the West Bank [Judea and Samaria] and Gaza—who have refused to negotiate in good faith and have used terrorism as their primary claim to recognition, have been rewarded for their violence by this decision.
Israel, which has offered the Palestinians statehood in exchange for peace on several occasions, has been punished for its willingness to negotiate and its determination to protect its citizens from Palestinian terrorism.
There are so many serious war crimes and other violations of humanitarian laws occurring around the world that the ICC deliberately ignores. The chief prosecutor sees as one of her roles to focus attention away from Third World countries—where many of these crimes occur—and toward Western democracies. What could be a better target for this perverse form of "prosecutorial affirmative action" than Israel? I say perverse because the real victims of such selective prosecution are the citizens of these third world countries whose leaders are killing and maiming them.
Israel, on the other hand, has the best record on human rights, the rule of law and concern for enemy civilians than any nation faced with comparable threats.
According to British military expert Richard Kemp: "No country in the history of warfare has done more to avoid civilian casualties than Israel did in Operation Cast Lead."
Israel's Supreme Court has imposed daunting restrictions on its military and has provided meaningful remedies for criminal acts committed by individual Israeli soldiers.
The role of the ICC, according to the treaty, is to intrude on the sovereignty of nations only if those nations are not capable of administering justice. The principle of "complementarity" is designed to allow courts in democratic nations, like Israel, to address their own problems within the rule of law. Only if the judiciary totally fails to address these problems does the court have jurisdiction—even in cases involving parties to the treaty, which Israel is not.
The United States should reject the ICC decision not only because it is unfair to its ally Israel, but because it sets a dangerous precedent that could be applied against the United States and other nations that operate under the rule of law. Israel should challenge the decision but should cooperate in any investigation, because the truth is its best defense. Whether an investigation conducted by the ICC can produce the truth is questionable, but the evidence—including real time video and audio—will make it more difficult for ICC investigators to distort reality.
All in all, the ICC decision on Palestine is a setback for a single standard of human rights. It is a victory for terrorism and an unwillingness to negotiate peace. And it is a strong argument against the United States and Israel joining this biased "court," and giving it any legitimacy.

Pray that this ludicrous decision by a false court with no jurisdiction will be recognized for the preposterous political move that it is. Beseech the Lord that no one will be successful in leveraging it to convince the world that a Palestinian state actually exists.
A faithful witness does not lie, but a false witness will utter lies. The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way, but the folly of fools is deceit.

Uranium-enrichment centrifuges at Iran's Natanz nuclear facility
Thursday, 11 February 2021 | Iran could develop a nuclear bomb within two years and Hezbollah will not seek an all-out war, according to the IDF [Israel Defense Forces] Military Intelligence Directorate's annual threat-assessment report, which was made public on Tuesday.
The report, which focuses on the security challenges Israel can expect to face over the next 12 months, estimates that the Islamic Republic can enrich enough uranium to make one bomb within four months. Iran currently has 1,300 kilograms [2,866 pounds] of uranium enriched to 4% and 17 kilograms [37.4 pounds] enriched to 20%, according to the IDF. In order to manufacture a single nuclear device, Iran will need 40 kilograms [88 pounds] of uranium enriched to 90%.
The Iranians have not pressed on with their nuclear project since the assassination of key nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, which was attributed to Israel, as they have not found a replacement for him yet, according to the assessment. However, it notes that Tehran is breaching the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action nuclear agreement.
In addition, the IDF estimates that Iran-backed Hezbollah and other terrorist groups will likely initiate more "limited offensives" against Israel over the coming year, which would force Israel to either minimize or stop its activities in Syria. However, such offensives would have to be carried out without harm to Israeli civilians, which would likely lead to Israel escalating the conflict. To this end, Hezbollah has trained a special "shock unit," according to the report.
Currently, the IDF believes Hezbollah possesses an arsenal of several dozen precision-guided missiles, rather than the hundreds that have been reported by some. For now, the IDF believes it still has an edge over Hezbollah on this front.
Meanwhile, despite an initial interruption caused by the coronavirus pandemic, Israel's enemies, most of which are suffering from severe economic, social and public health crises, have barely diverted any of their efforts from rearmament and force build-up. This applies to Iran and its proxies in Syria, Iraq and Yemen, to Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) in Gaza and to Hezbollah in Lebanon.
In general, the IDF believes that its campaign against Iranian entrenchment in Syria—or the so-called "war between wars"—has successfully countered Iran's goal of establishing a significant military presence in Syria, but has not prevented the regime in Tehran from pressing on with those efforts anyway.
The IDF believes that due to its successes against Iran in Syria, the Islamic Republic has pivoted toward enhancing its already robust military presence in Iraq and Yemen, from which its proxies can launch attacks on Israel using long-range missiles or armed drones. These more advanced and more powerful weapons are easier to smuggle into Iraq and Yemen than Syria or Lebanon, but the greater range also gives Israel more time to defend itself.
In the case of a drone attack from Yemen, for instance, the assessment estimates the IDF would have roughly six hours to see the attack coming and counter it.
The report also said that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad will look to improve relations with his neighbors and attempt to return to the Arab League as well as rebuild his army, in particular the air defense divisions. Large swathes of Syria, mainly in the north, will continue to remain under Kurdish or Turkish control, according to the assessment. Al-Assad is still reluctant to act against Iran's continued entrenchment in his country and is unlikely to change his mind in the coming future.
On the Palestinian front, although Hamas is seeking a long-term ceasefire arrangement with Israel, the current quiet on the Gaza border is very fragile.
The IDF also doubts the upcoming parliamentary and presidential elections the Palestinian Authority plans to hold in May and July respectively will be successful.
Hamas and PIJ, according to the assessment, will continue solidifying their power in Gaza, with an emphasis on their rocket arsenals, while trying to silence those calling for attacking Israel.
Regarding the new administration in Washington, the report estimates that it will be far more involved globally than its predecessor, which could provide some advantages for Israel.

Thank the Lord that He has heard and answered the many prayers for Israel to be successful in thwarting attempts to create an Iranian stronghold in Syria. Pray that He will move powerfully on Israel's behalf, granting great wisdom to her leaders as they strategize responses for an uncertain and potentially explosive future.

Researchers at Tel Aviv's Ichilov Hospital announced it has seen positive results in preliminary trials for a cure for COVID-19 (illustrative).
Monday, 8 February 2021 | An Israeli hospital claims it may have a cure for COVID-19, according to a report by KAN News.
Researchers at Tel Aviv's Ichilov Hospital on Thursday announced it has seen positive results in preliminary trials for a cure for COVID-19.
Professor Nadir Arber from the Integrated Cancer Prevention Center at the hospital tested a medication he has been developing on patients in moderate and serious condition suffering from the virus with a 95% positive result.
Arber says the medicine, named EXO-CD24, is inexpensive and effective and must be given once daily for five days.
Of the 30 patients that were given the drug, 29 showed a marked improvement within two days and were released from the hospital three to five days later.
One patient also recovered but her recovery took a few days longer, the hospital said.
After such positive results, the hospital appealed to the Health Ministry's Helsinki Committee to request to extend the trial to more patients.
The Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem also reported on a possible cure. The hospital administered a drug called Allocetra to 21 patients in critical condition who suffered from underlying conditions. According to the doctors, 19 patients recovered within six days and were released from the hospital on average after eight days.
The drug was developed by Professor Dror Mevorach, the director of Research Center for Rheumatology and Internal Medicine, to deal with overactive immune systems that cause secretion of cytokines.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on a tour of the Golan Heights
Wednesday, 10 February 2021 | Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office pushed back against US Secretary of State Tony Blinken over his comments that stopped short of endorsing the Trump administration's recognition of the Golan Heights in 2019.
In an interview with CNN on Monday, Blinken said while he supports Israel controlling the Golan Heights for now, he cast doubt on whether or not Israel had the legal right to control the region in the long-term.
"As a practical matter, the control of the Golan in that situation I think remains of real importance to Israel's security," he told CNN news anchor Wolf Blitzer. "Legal questions are something else, and over time, if the situation were to change in Syria, that's something we look at, but we are nowhere near that."
Former President Donald Trump recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights in 2019. Last November, Blinken's predecessor, Mike Pompeo, made a rare visit to the Golan Heights, where he said "this is a part of Israel and [a] central part of Israel."
In a statement, Netanyahu's office said that "the Golan Heights will remain forever a part of the State of Israel."
"The Israeli position is clear. In any possible scenario, the Golan Heights will remain Israeli," added the statement.
Advisers to US President Joe Biden have said America would not change its stance on the Golan.
The US State Department did not respond to a JNS request for clarification on the status of the Golan Heights.

A Palestinian child plays with a toy gun on his father's shoulders at the Al Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem's Old City.
Wednesday, 10 February 2021 | Ahead of the second annual Palestinian Child Soldier Week, the Coalition to Save Palestinian Child Soldiers announced that their goal this year was to press UNICEF [United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund]—the "global leader in children's rights"—to issue a statement demanding that Palestinian militant groups stop using children as combatants.
Palestinian Child Soldier Week is a global movement to end the use of Palestinian children as soldiers. It will be observed this year from February 14–19.
The purpose of the week is to raise awareness of a problem the coalition charges has been treated as a "minor issue" by organizations such as UNICEF, Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International—possibly for "political reasons."
"For decades, [this] systemic issue has been ignored or brushed off as unrelated individual incidents," said the coalition in a statement. "Without pressure or consequences for using this practice, systemic Palestinian child militancy has flourished."
The coalition noted that for decades, minors have been used in various military capacities by Palestinian militant groups, including the PLO [Palestinian Liberation Organization], Hamas, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Children have been used by these organizations as soldiers, suicide bombers, terrorists, tunnel diggers, mules for explosive devices and human shields, particularly in mass organized riots. They have also been used by these groups as couriers, spies and lookouts.
"The phenomenon of institutionalized racist, anti-Semitic, militarized education, child-training camps, and mass propaganda encouraging wanton violence from stabbing to rock-throwing are part of the systemic child militancy developed by [these] organizations," stated the coalition, noting the physical, mental and developmental harm of these activities on the children.
The coalition called upon UNICEF to demand that Palestinian militant organizations adhere to the 2007 Paris Principles, an international agreement supported by UNICEF that rejects any use of minors (17 years of age or younger) in military conflicts, whether by state or non-state actors.
The coalition noted that every year, nearly 10,000 Palestinian children are trained in "terrorist 'summer camps.'"
Between the years 2015 and 2016 alone, more than 30 Palestinian children were enlisted to commit stabbing attacks in what became known as the "knife intifada [uprising]" in Israel. Those attacks have continued with the latest occurring January 25 by Atallah Mohammad Rayan, 17, who attempted to kill a female Israel Defense Forces soldier at a junction near Ariel. Rayan was killed in the attack.
The previous month, Mahmoud Omar Kameel, 17, a Palestinian teenager from Jenin, was killed on December 21 after he twice tried to shoot Israeli border police in Jerusalem's Old City.

Pray that there will be an international outcry against this atrocious use of children as combatants and the racist, anti-Semitic, militarized education to which they are subjected. Pray that UNICEF and other so-called children's rights organizations will be called to account for their deliberate and inexcusable neglect of Palestinian children for political reasons.
But You, O Lord, are a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering and abundant in mercy and truth.

Hezbollah's supporters
Tuesday, 9 February 2021 | A new report has shed light on Hezbollah's systematic use of civilian infrastructure to shield its missile storage and launch sites in Lebanon.
The report, produced by the Israeli Alma Research and Education Center for geopolitical affairs, highlights a social charity called the Islamic Shiite Waqf Committee in Burj al Barajneh foundation that has been cynically used by Hezbollah to store an array of medium-range Fateh 110 missiles in close proximity to sites such as a high school in Beirut.
"This is a continuation of a report that we published in July 2020, which exposed 28 Fateh 110 missile sites in greater Beirut," Maj. (res.) Tal Beeri, who directs Alma's research department, told JNS.
"Following our publication, we continued extracting data from the information collected while discovering and uncovering new information. Within this framework, we acted to uncover the identities of the landowners and building owners [where] the Hezbollah sites are located," he stated.
That research led Alma to the Shiite Waqf Committee in Burj el-Barajneh, a social charity that has been active for 25 years and recognized as a supporter of Hezbollah.
Alma was able to pinpoint seven compounds related to the foundation: its main compound (which includes offices, a conference hall and a religious gathering place) and six school compounds, some of which are suspected of being used to store missiles intended for future use against Israel.
It didn't take long for the charity to emerge as the common denominator between the sites found to be storing missiles, said Beeri. Alma's July report highlighted two compounds—a sports center and an education center—belonging to the charity.
Following that lead, "We said, OK, if we are talking about compounds that we know have Hezbollah launch sites, let's search for more sites belonging to this charity that can be used by Hezbollah as missile sites with 'civilian envelopes,'" said Beeri, describing the research process. "We know that this is how they work."
The use of civilian associations for, among other objectives, human shielding, is a core pattern of Hezbollah, seen in past cases such as its use of the "Green Without Borders" environmental group as a cover for activity on the Lebanese–Israeli border, as well as using a civilian demining organization for cover.
"We also know that the Islamic Health Organization that deals with medical affairs throughout the Shiite community in southern Lebanon also smuggled weapons and operatives in ambulances during emergencies," noted Beeri.
Based on this familiar pattern, Alma searched Beirut for additional Islamic Shiite Waqf Committee in Burj al Barajneh compounds, finding seven structures that are suspected to have been used for missile attacks.
"One is the charity's central branch. We also found six educational facilities. We cross-referenced these with places we know to be launch sites and found that four of these sites are used as launch sites," explained Beeri, who spent 20 years as an intelligence officer in the Israel Defense Forces [IDF] specializing in Lebanon and Syria.
"We know with certainty that launch sites always appear near missile storage centers," he added. "This enables rapid deployment-and-fire for Hezbollah."
"Hence, this leads us to a very high degree of confidence in assessing that at least some of the charity's structures are being used to hide Fateh 110 missiles in Beirut. These sites include launch sites and very likely storage centers near the launch sites. It is a case of classic human shielding," said Beeri.
"You Only Need One"
The Fateh 110 lies at the heart of Hezbollah's ambitions to convert unguided projectiles into guided missiles. With a range of 300 kilometers [186 miles], it can place most of Israel in its sights, said Beeri.
It is produced in Syrian weapons plants under Iranian auspices and in Iranian missile factories. The Syrian equivalent of the missile is known as the M600.
In recent years, Iran and Hezbollah have been attempting to set up industrial precision guided missile factories on Lebanese soil, said Beeri.
"According to estimates, they still have 'only' tens of precise missiles. But you only need one to hit the IDF Central Headquarters in Tel Aviv to achieve a victory picture," he cautioned.
Civilian Populations "Live among the Targets"
In a recent speech, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Aviv Kochavi warned that terror armies located on Israel's borders—made up of tens of thousands of combatants—are armed with industrial weapons. "They aim, openly and declaratively, their fire at Israeli civilians," he warned. "The threat of rockets and missiles is the most significant. The scope has grown; the warheads have grown. They are trying to improve the accuracy. This issue reached significant dimensions."
"Who would have thought that terror organizations—what we today call terror armies—would be armed with precise missiles, or cruise missiles, or cyber capabilities, or electronic warfare? The technology changed the world," he said. "When it is available, it is also available to radical Islam and fundamentalism. When they meet, the result is a challenge."
The chief of staff called for a paradigm shift to tackle these threats. "The enemy chose to locate itself, including its rockets and missiles, in urban areas. It deliberately ignores international law. It intends to fire all of this at Metula, Afula, Haifa and greater Tel Aviv. It is distributed in villages in southern Lebanon and Beirut. Hence, it is a must that we—the IDF, Israel and the international community—adapt ourselves to ways we must and are entitled to fight."
While civilians would be given a chance to evacuate, the IDF will afterwards strike such targets, he said.
Civilian populations "live among the targets," cautioned Kochavi. "They live on the battlefield. Every fifth home in Lebanon is a missile storage base or an anti-tank position or a command post."
Referring to these warnings, Beeri noted that Kochavi identified these structures as military targets that must be struck in a future war to prevent harm to Israeli civilians.
"Hezbollah's human shielding doctrine is well known, but each time we are surprised anew when we discover new ways that it does this, the way they use charities to serve their military activities," said Beeri.
"Without a civilian infrastructure, Hezbollah's military capabilities can't live. We are peeling this layer by layer—every time we peel, we discover more."

Beseech the Lord for an end to this unjust and inhumane use of civilian populations as human shields. Pray that the international community will join with Israel in condemning Hezbollah's use of civilians to hide its weapons, cold-heartedly placing them in the midst of the battlefield. Cry out to Him that Israel will be successful in finding a way to protect Israeli citizens without endangering the lives of families and children in Lebanon.
When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when a wicked man rules, the people groan.
- Prov. 29:2
A woman holds a sign opposing anti-Semitism at a rally.
Friday, 5 February 2021 | The campus watchdog group, Alums for Campus Fairness (ACF), released a groundbreaking report on Thursday outlining the 50 most flagrant anti-Semitic incidents at American universities and detailing recommendations for alumni to combat bigotry at their alma maters.
Some of the most alarming examples recorded include swastikas spray-painted in a Jewish professor's office, the resignation of a student government vice president due to harassment for her Zionist identity and a performer at a school-sponsored conference inviting the audience to join in his "anti-Semitism song."
The report, titled Guide to Protect Jewish Students, included the most abhorrent anti-Semitic incidents out of a sample of more than 2,000 that occurred over the past three years on the campusses of US colleges. The report divides incidents into five categories: Campus Activities; Vandalism, Harassment and Hate Speech; Virtual Antisemitism; In the Classroom; and Campus Policy. Incidents are classified as anti-Semitic using the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's (IHRA's) working definition of anti-Semitism.
"Across the nation, Jewish students are targeted, harassed and discriminated against because of who they are and what they believe. AEPi [Alpha Epsilon Pi, the worldwide Jewish college fraternity] members were assaulted at Towson University, NYU students burned an Israeli flag, a University of Michigan professor refused to write a recommendation letter for a student to study abroad in Israel, and vandals defaced the UMass Amherst Hillel on Holocaust Memorial Day. This is only a snapshot of what Jewish students are up against," said ACF executive director Avi D. Gordon.
"It is more important now more than ever for alumni to mobilize and combat this hate. ACF's report outlines the steps alumni should take to help protect Jewish students on campus and curb rising antisemitism," he added.
The report recommends that alumni press their alma maters to adopt the IHRA definition of anti-Semitism; swiftly and unequivocally condemn hate; mandate staff training on anti-Semitism and anti-Israel bias; take precautions against Zoombombing; and issue prompt statements condemning BDS [Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions] resolutions, among a number of other actions.
"Jewish students are regularly subjected to hate, fear and discrimination on campus," said Eric Schorr, ACF's chapter leader at Columbia University. "It's extremely troubling to see this uptick in anti-Semitism across the United States. Students, alumni and university administrators must work together to take appropriate steps to not only condemn hate, but to prevent and eradicate it."

Pray for the Lord's protection on Jewish college students in the United States and globally. Pray that this report will be taken seriously, causing alumni en masse to demand the eradication of racism, bigotry and all forms of anti-Semitism on campuses around the world.
Hear my cry, O God; attend to my prayer. From the end of the earth I will cry to You, when my heart is overwhelmed; lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For You have been a shelter for me, a strong tower from the enemy.
The Israeli-built housing development in Guatemala
Thursday, 11 February 2021 | Israel's embassy in Guatemala recently finished its housing development in the town of Escuintla for families whose homes were destroyed in the 2018 Fuego volcano eruption.
On January 31, Israel's Ambassador to Guatemala and Honduras Mattanya Cohen personally handed over the deeds to all 39 families receiving new houses. The homes sit on "Jerusalem Capital of Israel Street," the 19th street in Guatemala with that name.
"The State of Israel promised, and we are happy," said Cohen in a statement. "Israel will always continue to assist our friend and ally Guatemala."
Israel and Guatemala have seen growing ties in recent years. In May 2018, Guatemala moved its embassy to Jerusalem just two days after the United States opened its own mission in the city, which was recognized as and declared Israel's capital by the Trump administration in December 2017.
The blast in June 2018 killed more than 190 people—more fatalities than any previous activity caused by Fuego, which is one of Central America's most active volcanoes.
Following the blast, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu offered Israeli medical and logistical aid to Guatemala. A team of Israeli doctors and members of the Israeli emergency organization IsraAid also flew out to the Central American nation to help locals. Israel's ZAKA emergency service also provided equipment and necessities such as blankets, medicine, first aid kits and water purification tablets.

Praise the Lord for the relationship between Israel and Guatemala and for the Guatemalans' obvious love for Israel and especially for the city of Jerusalem. Thank Him for this incredible blessing from Israelis to Guatemalans and pray that these homes will be the beginning of a new life for families who have lost everything.
In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem: "Do not fear; Zion, let not your hands be weak. The LORD your God in your midst, the Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing."

Israel and Greece signed a bilateral agreement on tourism cooperation (illustrative).
Thursday, 11 February 2021 | Israel and Greece on Monday signed a bilateral agreement on tourism cooperation providing hope to an industry which has come to a standstill because of the COVID crisis. Israeli Minister [of Tourism] Orit Farkash-Hacohen told Greek Minister [of Tourism] Harry Theoharis that she looked forward to welcoming Greek and other visitors to Israel, as it continues to vaccinate its population and position itself as a healthy post-COVID destination.
Following a working meeting between the ministers, they signed an agreement to strengthen the cooperation in the fields of research and training in tourism, as well as to promote joint packages and initiatives between the tourism industries in both countries.
"Signing an agreement on international tourism when the skies are closed and vacations seem far away is a beacon of hope. It is a reminder to those working in the entire industry that we are working to make sure they reopen as soon as possible," Farkash-Hacohen said. "Like always, tourism is a two-way street. Any and all agreement must be mutual, allowing the citizens of both countries the same positive experiences that trips and vacations can provide."
Farkash-Hacohen called on tourists to visit Israel. "I want to take this opportunity to encourage Greek people and everyone else: make Israel your post-COVID destination. Israel has something for everyone: the snow-capped Hermon and Negev Desert; modern Tel Aviv and ancient Jerusalem; family vacations, backpacking trips and religious experiences—we have them all."
"Israel is leading the world in the efforts to vaccinate its population against the pandemic. This means Israel will also be a safe and healthy destination," Farkash-Hacohen concluded. "After a year of limited travel and a lot of stress, a vacation is in order—and I am certain Israel can provide you with the perfect experience."
Greek Minister Theoharis stated: "It is of great satisfaction that we concluded the agreement on cooperation in the field of tourism between Greece and Israel. This agreement is part of the strategic plan of the Greek government and aims to enhance significant partnerships with countries of the wider Mediterranean region. Apart from the ties of friendship, Greece shares with Israel the same belief that tourism is a central lever for development in a modern, sustainable and profitable orientation. Let's also not forget that for our country, the tourism market of Israel is particularly important. In 2019, we hosted around 715,000 Israeli visitors. This number has ranked Israel as the 9th country in terms of tourist arrivals for Greece."

Thank the God of Israel for this agreement and for the relationship Israel enjoys with Greece. Thank Him that there is hope for the tourism industry and pray that things will open up soon, allowing tourists to enjoy both Israel and Greece and pilgrims to again find their way to the country where He says He has placed His name forever.
Many nations shall come and say, "Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, and we shall walk in His paths."

Governance is the system by which an organization is directed and controlled. It consists of a set of responsibilities that give strategic guidance to management to run the organization smoothly. Its core principles are driven by maintaining organization vision, shareholder and stakeholder confidence, business values, adherence to compliance, proper risk mitigation and resource utilization. The Board of Directors is the legal representative of the governance for an organization. All decisions are made by the members of the "Board" typically comprising of Directors, management representative (CEO), major shareholders and other stakeholders. This extends the accountability of people which are directly in "business". Governance ensures that the goals set forward by the "Board" are achievable with proper risk mitigation and optimum resource utilization.
IT Governance is a subset of corporate governance which specifically addresses the issues on how IT is applied across the organization. Since IT is now an integral part of the organization, a need to govern IT assets and resources is felt. In that way, a better understanding of Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) is achieved for IT assets. IT Governance helps to align IT objectives with business objectives producing significant business value which is measurable and quantifiable.
This greatly helps to monitor and present a truer picture of business growth. IT Governance is directly used by Directors on behalf of stakeholders who expect a return on their investment. It should not be confused with IT Management which directly manages IT Assets. Associated frameworks for IT Governance are Control Objectives for Information and Related Technology (COBIT), and ISO/IEC 38500: IT Governance Standard.
Information Security Governance (ISG) is the subset of corporate governance which addresses the strategic direction for protecting the information assets in the organization. It is very closely associated within IT Governance as business has become increasingly dependent on IT systems. ISG focuses its attention to preserve the confidentiality, integrity, availability of information. It also provides protection for the intellectual property of the organization. ISG has recently started gaining importance due to the passage of many legal mandates like Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS. Once again, Directors directly use ISG on behalf of stakeholders/shareholders to provide assurance that organisational information assets are in a "secured" state.
Can we use IT Governance and IT Management interchangeably?
No. There is much confusion among the IT folks who view Management and Governance as the same entity as they both have the ability to "direct". Hence, for most of the time, IT folks use these terms interchangeably. But we need to understand that Governance of any kind will relate to that activity which is directly used by the board members or directors who function on behalf of stakeholders/shareholders who have invested their money in the organization. Management always acts as an execution body which functions as per the directions and goals set forward by the board.
IT Governance makes sure that IT objectives are aligned with the business objectives which in turn produces measurable business value essential for the growth of the organization. IT Governance also brings in accountability within the enterprise due to the shared responsibility of both the directors and shareholders. IT Management on the other hand focuses on managing IT assets in accordance with business needs and priorities.
IT Management is involved in budgeting, staffing, organizing and controlling IT operations and assets. It is also involved in other aspects such as change management, software design, network planning, tech support etc.
Can we have comparison of roles for Governance and Management?
Why is IT Governance necessary? How does it provide value to the organization?
Shared responsibilities among the directors, shareholders and other stakeholders prevent abuse of power by senior IT management to procure expensive IT inventory and assets which provide very little value and return to business. Various models such as Chargeback models can be adopted to see which IT investments give out most business value and return on investment. IT Governance makes it easy to determine Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for IT assets. Hence efficient management of IT inventory can take place.
Why is Information Security Governance (ISG) necessary? How does it provide value to the organization?
ISG is increasingly becoming important due to the increased level of dependence of business processes on IT Systems. This means that the information residing on IT systems needs to be properly protected from unauthorized access. ISG works in close tandem with IT Governance as well as the Organizational Risk Management function and provides effective controls for any leakage of confidential information from the organization.
ISG also routinely engages in audit checks on IT systems, ensures service continuity and regular risk assessments provide information about the risk appetite of the organization. It helps the board to take informed decisions before venturing into investments for new business areas.
Compliance mandates are also met by good IS governance. Above all, ISG provides a peace of mind to stakeholders and shareholders that their investments are in "safe" state.
ISG in tandem with IT Governance works wonders to keep businesses engaged in rapidly evolving technological areas while providing assurance that the information assets are well protected from external or internal threats.
Are you implementing IS Governance properly?
Is your IS Governance delivering value?
You need to optimize security investments such that they are in-line with your business objectives. Evaluate if sufficient and prioritized care is taken for areas which are having greatest business impact. Check if minimum security requirements are following practices that are proportional to risk.
Is your IS Governance well planned?
Check if the IS budget is well planned and portfolios well defined for the procurement of IS tools such as for GRC automation, log analysis, security utilities, etc. and also for hiring IS staff like pen-testers, analysts and consultants etc. Evaluate if your investments are aligned as per the corporate strategy and the risk profile.
Is your IS Governance well managed and measurable?
Performance measurement processes must be well defined and approved by the board or senior management. These processes must be able to determine various weaknesses and also provide feedback during the resolution process. This should be followed by independent external assessments and audits for assurance purposes.
For proper resource utilization, you need to capture knowledge by documenting security processes and procedures. Proper security architecture design will help in optimal usage of IT security infrastructure.
Is your IS Governance able to properly manage and mitigate risk?
Organizations often focus only on qualitative risk based assessment exercises which tend to become opinionated and discretionary. It is advisable to do a qualitative risk assessment on information assets by a measurable and quantifiable process. This can help to gauge the true impact on business processes if they get compromised.
There should be a clear understanding of the organization's risk profile, risk exposure and the consequences of non-compliance with the state-level and national-level legal requirements. Residual risks must be mitigated to an accepted level by a formally defined risk management process. They may be avoided, transferred or accepted depending on their impact on business. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 492 |
A couple of weeks ago, I had the privilege of meeting someone who is NOT running for President, someone who has NOT won massive accolades on the sports field, nor someone who has made a Billion dollars in business. (Well – actually I met Billionaire Tim Cook, CEO of Apple – the world's most valuable company). But I also met someone someone much more important. His name is Gabe Adams.
Grit, Determination, Perseverance, Courage, and a Positive Mental Attitudes are all things we admire and cherish in others. These characteristics have reached their ultimate personification in Gabe. Heck – I wish he were running for President! He would have my vote!
To say Gabe is remarkable is an understatement. He is a straight A student at Dixie High school in St. George, Utah and was born with no arms or legs. He is an outstanding public speaker! He was born with Hanhart syndrome, a congenital defect that causes malformed arms and legs, and his biological mother didn't think she'd be able to care for him.
God bless Janelle and Ron Adams who heard the story of this abandoned baby boy and set about to secure for Gabe a loving home and an opportunity to live a fuller life. The Adams, who have 13 biological children of their own, went to Brazil to retrieve him and bring him back to their then home in Northern Utah.
One example of Gabe's passion for overcoming adversity is characterized by his fierce love of dance. How in the world can someone so physically afflicted be capable of engaging in such a demanding activity? Well Gabe figured it out.
He discovered his passion for dance in the 7th grade, when he choreographed a dance for his middle school talent show. After receiving a standing ovation for his performance, his passion for dance was permanently ignited.
His dance teacher, Kim King, says Gabe has brought so much joy to the team and has pushed them all to work harder.
"When they see him, they don't realize how hard it is to get dressed, how hard it is to get in and out of his chair, but Gabe does everything by himself," King said.
Gabe's father, Ron Adams, said Gabe is always pushing himself and taking each challenge in stride.
"I don't think everyone understands what it takes, the muscle coordination and development to balance when he doesn't have limbs," Ron Adams said.
He may not realize it, but Gabe is constantly inspiring the people around him.
* I am wise because I have been foolish.
* Only 1 thing matters- What you decide!
* Rock Bottom -became my Foundation!
* Step Up and give nothing but your best!
So whenever you want to feel sorry for yourself, whenever you are discouraged because you feel life is unfair to you, or whenever challenges appear in your life that seem insurmountable, just remember an armless, legless 18-year old young man in southern Utah who has overcome all of this and more. He has turned the lemons that were dealt him in life and replaced them with joyful lemonade.
Thank you Gabe! You are an inspiration to all! | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 493 |
macOS default framework search paths not correct.
Note: The standard locations for frameworks are the /System/Library/Frameworks directory and the /Library/Frameworks directory on the local system.
UE4 does not search /Library/Frameworks for frameworks, and by definition it should.
I consider this to be a bug, especially because /System is not writable anymore, so you cannot work around this by adding a framework to /System/Library/Frameworks.
Without trying to overcomplicate this bug report with a question: Is there any way, using *.build.cs, to add a Framework Search Path? When looking around for how to include third party frameworks, most search results are from 2014 and use the word "yet" or "at this time" to talk about how it's not "easy" to do this. It is now 2017 and it's unclear what the solution is.
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I was able to reproduce the issue that you have described, and it still seems to be happening in our most recent internal version of the Engine. I have entered UE-56000 to have this investigated further.

Final Fantasy XIII team: DLC not good enough for release, but Final Fantasy XIII-2 possible
By David Houghton 2010-10-04T21:58:56.276Z
The game's Producer and Director spill the beans on failed online support and what might come next
Speaking during an interview for FFXIII companion book Final Fantasy Ultimania Omega, Kitase states that he wants to make something that further explains the mythology of the Fabula Novala Crystalis project (Squenix's group of FFXIII-related games), showing things that didn't make it into the action-driven Final Fantasy Versus XIII or the PSP title Agito XIII. He adds that exactly what the projectwill turn out to be (if it happens) would depend on fan reaction.Toriyama then pipes up, mentioning that he'd "like to at some point make a story where Lightning ends up happy".
Certainly sounds like FFXIII-2 could be a possibility. And with the pair admitting thatthe FFXIII team'snext project is already underway to some degree, that possibility may be getting hammered out right now. To be fair, a direct sequel would make sense. The other two FFXIII games are related by theme only, and Squenix has already complained of the cost and effort needed to produce RPGs of this sort of scale with current-gen technology. With the technical and art assets in place, a XIII-2 would be a hell of a lot easier to make than a Final FantasyXV.
What makes a little sense though, at least to me, is the decision to go straight onto the next game instead of adding DLC for a while. Additional post-release content was conspicuous by its absence, and Toriyama has now revealed that although DLC was developed for a while, it just wasn't up to scratch. A new area called The Seventh Ark was planned, but due to a variety of development hurdles it was canned. Toriyama also cited the big differences between Xbox Live and PSN networking technology as reasons for the cancellation, but that's hardly stopped any developer ofa multi-format game before.
Without knowing the exact technical problems it's hard to understand exactly why the decision was made not to wring more cash out of/enrich the player experience of Final Fantasy XIII after so much time and work. But to be fair, with Final Fantasy Versus XIII not even confirmed for release next year, Squenix has a lot on its plate at moment.
Has FFXIII left you wanting more? Would you buy a direct sequel? Or would you rather Square-Enix had gone the route of DLC expansions instead of talking up another full-price release?
We love you,andriasang!

The Mirror's David Maddock today claims that Dietmar Hamann has signed a one year contract for Liverpool.
Didi's existing deal comes to and end this summer, and Hamann hadn't yet signed a new deal. Hamann had been hoping for the chance to stay in England, where his family are very much settled, and for a long time a move to nearby Bolton Wanderers looked the most likely option for the World Cup Winner.
According to the article, Hamann has accepted a shorter contract, for less money, in return for continuing his career at the European Champions.
According to the article, "The German international midfielder yesterday signed a one-year contract with Liverpool, despite being promised a much better deal to join Premiership Bolton."
Hamann is 31, and the offer from Bolton was said by the Mirror to be for two years with an option for a third year. The Liverpool deal is said by the paper to be a one-year deal worth in the region of £35,000 a week. There's also an option to extend if Didi plays enough games in the new season.
The article claims that Rafa Benitez had been wanting Hamann to stay, but due to concerns over the age of the player he felt he could not match the length of contract offered by Bolton. The average age of the Bolton squad is higher than Liverpool's.
The same reporter also claims that Milan Baros was all set to move to Valencia for £6million – until Valencia appointed a new sporting director. Gavier Subirats is the new man and he wants the fee reduced – if not the Mirror claims the deal is off. The Mirror also says that this won't mean Baros stays at Anfield – he's on his way out regardless.
Liverpool's alleged interest in Owen Hargreaves was given encouragement when the player was publically criticised by his current club Bayern Munich for talking in the press about a possible move to Anfield. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 499 |
